George Eklund, Morehead State University, Reading Great Poems to Write Great Poems: Searching for Writing Apparatus: Participants will engage in an active reading of some established poetry and go through the process of harvesting writing apparatus. We will then put apparatus stems to use in generating our own drafts.
Dr. Eckland,
My name is Jason Gerrish. I took two poetry writing courses you instructed, at Morehead, roughly fifteen years ago.
I’m reaching out to you, because I submitted a book of poems and photographs to a small press and they accepted it. The project has been held up , due to COVID-19, but the editor emailed me Saturday. They are ready to go.
I’m a little anxious. Would like to talk to someone who has been through this. Also, I would really like you to take a look at the manuscript.
Jason, I’ve just now encountered your note; I’m sorry, but I don’t get around the internet very much. I’m so glad to hear the news about your work and your publication. I’d be delighted to take a look! Here is my e-mail: ernestoeklund@hotmail.com.
I do hope to hear from you, and again I’m sorry for this slippage of time!
All the Best,
George Eklund
