The Wyoming Arts Council is pleased to announce the recipients of this year’s creative writing fellowships in poetry.
They are Sam Renken of Laramie, David Zoby of Casper and Lori Van Pelt of Saratoga. They each will receive a $3,000 award plus a $500 stipend to travel to Casper to read their work at the annual fellowship reading Oct. 10 at the Casper College Literary Conference. They will be joined at the reading by fellowship judge Greg Pape, poet and professor at the University of Montana in Missoula.
Honorable mentions in this category go to Michael McIrvin of Cheyenne and William Hoagland of Powell.
This is the 24th year for the creative writing fellowships sponsored by the Wyoming Arts Council. Next year’s category will be creative nonfiction/essay. Applications will be available in April 2010.
For more information, contact Michael Shay, WAC individual artist program specialist, at 307-777-5234 or mshay@state.wy.us.
The Wyoming Arts Council believes that experiencing the arts should be accessible for all, including people with mental and/or physical disabilities, older adults, military/veterans, people living in institutions and those who lack access to the arts due to geographic isolation, cultural difference and economic hardship.
