Okra 2 Opera was a blast! Spartanburg made an impression. The last time I was there I must have been a child. Converse College has a beautiful campus practically downtown. I was honored to not only meet, but participate in discussions with Dr. Marci Cohen Ferris, and I stumbled upon what I can already tell was a very important introduction, that of meeting Ronni Lundy. She is a founding member of the SFA and her work is a missing piece of the puzzle to me, a woman of the foothills whose paternal grandmother was a sharecropper and maternal great-grandfather a land owner. Ronni argues that class has riven as deeply as race, especially among Southerners living in the upper reaches of the region. Read my wrap up of Okra 2 Opera for The Local Palate, the South’s premiere food culture magazine.
News for 08 April 2014: Food In Fiction →
I’m pleased as Punch my panel has been accepted for South Atlantic Modern Language Association’s annual conference. The panel will only be successful if other people are interested in talking about “Food In Fiction” too, so please spread the call for papers far and wide! The conference will be held in Atlanta November 7-9, 2014. For all the fixins, click here and scroll to page 34 for my listing. Serendipitously, last week’s Tin House’s Flash Friday by Caitlin Corrigan includes a passage that struck me as befitting to the subject. Of course, what to do with it is up to you:

When she was better they went to a shrimp boil in the courtyard of someone’s cousin’s apartment complex. Folding tables buttressed by foam coolers. She stood with strangers and reached into the pile of things to eat. Damp newspaper, boil mix and garlic tingling her cuticles, a warm lemon wedged in her palm. Potatoes, half ears of corn, fat shrimp in thin skins. She wiped her cheeks with the back of her hand. It was dark back there. They ate without looking or talking. They sucked the heads dry. The pile of food got low and it was too dark to tell who said it first—Houston, we have a problem—they all said it, put the phrase on repeat, a murmur that never stopped being true, not even when the next pot was drained and they were called again.

Yes! Such befitting Valentine’s Day news! I learned this morning American College of the Building Arts, ACBA librarian Jenny France, and I have been awarded a 2014 Carnegie-Whitney Grant from the American Library Association! The ALA grant included allowance for me to travel to Wooden Boat headquarters in Maine, The Landing School, Mystic Seaport, Georgetown, and so forth to consult with the nation’s best traditional shipwrights in order to compile a Wooden Boat Reading List that we can update perpetually. Thanks to Edwin McAllister, PhD. for consulting on the proposal and to Mark Bayne for putting a copy of The Gougeon Brothers on Boat Construction in my hands. The 2014 forecast is looking F-U-N! A sneak peek of the project underway. Blog updates will be available on the ACBA website beginning in June.
News for 23 October 2013: Fiction Southeast →
Thanks to one of my professors, Adrianne Harun, I learned about a new online literary magazine dedicated to flash fiction. I was hooked after reading Michael Griffith’s story. Consider this gem from the story: One has no choice but to love those who command the elements, and to propitiate them. Their marks are upon us; we have no choice. I love it when people talk like that. Fiction Southeast is housed at LSU. The editor, Chris Tusa, was gracious enough to invite me to join the staff as a feature writer. In my series Fiction Craft, I will write exploratory articles on—you guessed it—the craft of fiction. This is a great opportunity for me to continue the conversation of craft throughout the year as Sewanee is a summer program. Click here to read the series beginning in January 2014.

News for 30 August 2013: Crazyhorse →
This fall I begin a new role as assistant at Crazyhorse literary magazine. I remember my last year as an undergraduate at College of Charleston, when the magazine found a sustainable home on our campus. My creative writing teachers enthusiastically welcomed the task of breathing new life into a magazine that published John Updike, Charles Simic, and Billy Collins. In fact, I remember Collins reading at the College. When I started the M.F.A. program at Sewanee and revisited all these influences—Raymond Carver, James Wright—I realized I’d missed Collins’ visit to the Domain by just a season. You can read the history of Crazyhorse here, which offers some insight into why I am honored to help at the magazine in any capacity. My role will not be editorial. I will be compiling mailing list and perhaps tweeting. It should be good fun!
