“On Swift Horses” by Shannon Pufahl

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   My parents raised me to not say anything, if I couldn’t say something nice, so, I looked into the Stegner Fellowship.

   Wallace Stegner Fellowship. Unique among writing programs, Stanford offers ten two-year fellowships each year, five in fiction and five in poetry. All the fellows in each genre convene weekly in a 3-hour workshop with faculty. Fellows are regarded as working artists. Contact: stegnerfellowship@stanford.edu
