Eleanor Goodman in Conversation with Teow Lim Goh
Here is an excellent interview with poet and translator Eleanor Goodman by the fine young poet Teow Lim Goh. I blogged about Ms. Goodman back in September, when she came to the University of Denver to speak and read from her Chinese translations under the auspices of the Professional Creative Writing Program, and when she read (the following evening) at BookBar. The journal Teow’s interview appears in, Canopy, is new to me, but I expect to spend some pleasurable time fishing around in the depths of it.Read More

A “Friends Help Friends Write” Reading
Some of you already know that I am directing a new Master of Arts program at the University of Denver’s University College called Professional Creative Writing. The word “professional” simply means that students aim to learn not just about writing but about the publishing ecosystem, with an eye toward earning at least some of their income within that ecosystem. Self-enrichment, yes—but with readers in mind. The program launches officially this summer, and we’re introducing it with a “Friends Help Friends Write” Open House on Tuesday, April 11th, from 6 to 8 p.m. on the D.U. campus.Read More
