Nonfiction writer 杨高佳 and poet 沙拉McCallum, both of whom teach in Pacific University’s low-residency 美术写作硕士 program, each have been awarded 2023 Guggenheim Foundation Fellowships.
太平洋艺术学院主任斯科特·科布(Scott Korb)说,这两位作家都在该项目任教多年,并在该项目的多元化努力中发挥了重要作用,他们领导了斯特拉塔有色人种作家大师班的课程。
本月,约翰·西蒙·古根海姆纪念基金会(John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation)的受托人从2500多名候选人中筛选出171名作家、艺术家和科学家,他们就是其中之一。
诗人沙拉McCallum(右)是宾夕法尼亚州立大学的英语教授,她写了六本书。 Her most recent, 没有废石, was winner of the 2022 Hurston/Wright Legacy Award for Poetry and named a finalist for the 2022 UNT Rilke Prize. 她的父亲是牙买加人,母亲是委内瑞拉人。她在诗歌研讨会上教授诗歌,她说,“我不鼓励达成共识”,而是培养多种回应,即使是相互矛盾的回应。
Hmong-American writer 杨高佳, left, who is writer in residence at the University of Minnesota, has written memoirs including 《晚归者:苗族家庭回忆录》 as well as such children’s books as 世界地图 and 最美的东西. 她的作品获得了国家艺术基金会、国家图书评论界奖、肖托夸奖、美国笔会文学奖、代顿文学和平奖、哈特兰书商奖和明尼苏达州图书奖的认可。
Pacific’s low-residency 文学硕士 program features celebrated writers like McCallum and Yang, who guide students through an exploration of craft and conversation, celebrating writing as an art that has the potential to make a difference in the world. 该项目每年有两次驻留,也可以被视为非学位作家的会议。
