Graduate students will also be presenting pedagogy papers at the AWP

David Roe, Krystal Languell, Robbie Wendeborn, Patrick
Clark, and Jeff Pickell. Tracy and Mike also had their papers included
in the Best 20 collection for the year and will help facilitate the
pedagogy forum.

Richard Greenfield's Apostrophe Books will be hosting an offsite
reading at AWP. He also will be giving an offsite reading with
Omnidawn and Ahsahta Press.

Robin Romm will be on two panels: "Chaos vs. Conflict: Workshopping
the Violent Story" and another pedagogy panel, "Streetsmarts."

Connie Voisine will be reading from her new work at the conference.

'Best of the West' anthology.
