Points of View

MFA WC&YA Alumna

"During each semester the word that echoed in my head was 'relentless', relentless learning with all parts of my brain, the creative and the analytical, the literary and the lyrical. And relentless reading, thinking, and writing. The third part was relentless positive encouragement and support to risk writing way beyond the envelope."
