Here’s what Kathryn had to say about being in the program:

“During my time at EWU, I developed some of the most profound literary friendships of my life (with classmates and professors alike). In the years since I graduated my EWU colleagues have been inspirations, collaborators, editors, and even good for the occasional much-needed kick in the pants. The opportunities I had to work on Willow Springs and at EWU Press were incredibly valuable experiences to drawn upon both as a writer trying to figure out how to make my own work stand-out in a crowded literary marketplace and when I was a candidate for jobs where editing experience was considered a valuable supplement to personal publications and teaching experience.”
