    IMG_0657.JPGToday was a special treat. I got to speak to an upper division creative nonfiction class, where I started with the presentation called “100 memoirs in 10 minutes,” a run-through of the 100 memoirs I have read in the past few years, ranging from Conroy’s Stop Time published in 1977 to Brian Turner’s My Life as a Foreign Country  published in 2014. The students were engaged, thoughtful, and so generous and kind.

    Then I did a radio interview at the campus station, where Taylor asked me many questions about traveling and writing.

    This has been such a wonderful day and I’m so thankful to Dr. Elizabyth Hiscox and the entire faculty at Western for inviting me to visit with the students. I feel truly enriched and inspired.

    I am really enjoying my stay in Gunnison so far. Today I get to speak with three creative writing classes and I’ll give a reading of my poetry and prose. Tomorrow is a radio interview and another craft talk. I’m so happy to be here. Even the Herefords are perfect!
