Quick Blog for Now

I just returned from teaching a two-week fiction writing course in Northern Michigan University's MFA program. It was a great time. The trip started with a successful two-day book signing at the Mackinac Island bookstore. My students were a great deal of fun to have in the class, and their final products were quite strong, given that they had two weeks to write a full-blown story. And, when I got home, I returned to the news that one of my poems was accepted to appear in Rattle magazine. What a great poetry magazine. I'm always proud to have my work in there.
