Four poems written by Sarah Gerkensmeyer, visiting assistant professor of English, have been accepted for publication in various literary journals since the release of her collection of short stories, “What You Are Now Enjoying,” last spring.
Her poem, “The Woman Whistles,” has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize by B O D Y, an international literary journal based in Prague.
Gerkensmeyer continues to give talks at bookstores, writing centers and schools across the country about “Writing the Unknown.” She will be a visiting writer at Late Night Library in Portland, Ore., on Thursday, Dec. 5, and will be a featured fiction writer at WordFest, a literary festival hosted by the Fresno State University M.F.A. program, in February 2014.
