Bethany Reid
Today, writer Bethany Reid, who graciously agreed to be “tagged” in the Blog Hop, has posted her responses to the interview questions about The Next Big Thing in her writing and her generous write-ups of several blogs she follows. Please click on over to both parts and enjoy!
Bethany Reid earned her MFA and PhD at the University of Washington. She is author of a chapbook, The Coyotes and My Mom (Bellowing Ark Press), and served as an editor for The Seattle Review. She has won the Lois Cranston Memorial Poetry Prize at Calyx and, in 2012, the Gell Prize for her poetry collection Sparrow. She lives with her family in Edmonds, Washington, and teaches at Everett Community College.
She seems intimidatingly smart. Meaning I would be stimulated as well as a little scared; but still hopeful that every once in a while she would write about flatulence.
Yes, but, see, she also writes about her cat dying, and to counterbalance the etymology lesson, she includes a poem that’ll rip your heart right outta your chest.
