Contributor News & Notes

Greensboro Review Issue 50 contributor Brad Watson answered questions this week about his writing practices, his favorite books, and his dogs over at the Fictionaut blog.

Poet Kent Shaw, whose work was published in our Fall 2007 issue, had the Poem of the Week for Sept. 28, 2010 over at The Missouri Review. Read his poem, "Why you can't build a city fast enough," here.

The Memphis Flyer ran an interesting story about Greensboro Review contributor Bobby C. Rogers and his debut poetry collection Paper Anniversary, which was winner of 2009 Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry Prize. His work most recently appeared in Issue 88 of The Greensboro Review.

Earlier this month, poet, novelist, and short fiction writer Ron Rash won the Frank O'Connor award for his fourth short story collection, Burning Bright. The Greensboro Review first published Rash's fiction in Issue 64. Read about the Frank O'Connor award and Rash's other achievements here.

And finally--although quite belatedly on our part but still worthy of a note here nonetheless--Greensboro Review contributor Cathy Smith Bowers was named the 2010 North Carolina Poet Laureate. We first published her poetry way back in Issue 26. Read all about how Cathy Smith Bowers's writing career has grown since then at the N.C. Arts Council Poet Laureate page.
