ECU Faculty/Alumni Featured in Dragon Poet Review

Check out the Summer/Fall 2019 issue of The Dragon Poet Review: https://dragonpoetreview.files.wordpress.com/2019/11/dpr-fall2019.pdf

The DPR is a creative writing journal which publishes a variety of poetry, fiction, memoirs, creative non-fiction , reviews, artwork, and photograph. It's published twice annually, and the Summer/Fall 2019 issue has just been released. Why does this matter to us? Because the 'Third Floor' is all over it! 

First of all, the DPR is run by two English alums, Jessica B. Isaacs (currently a professor at Seminole State) and Rayshell E. Clapper (currently a professor at Diablo Valley College), along with Jayne Shimko. Additionally, two ECU professors have works in the issue, 

* Dr. Joshua Grasso's flash fiction fantasy story, "The Girl With a Charcoal Heart":

* Dr. Ken Hada's review of Larry Thomas' new book of poems, In a Field of Cotton. 

Other names will be familiar to attendees of the Scissortail Creative Writing Festival, such as,

* Paul Bowers (who also recently read at ECU's September Poetry series)

* Paul Juhaz

* Walter Bargen

* Richard Dixon 

* Cullen Whisenhunt 

And that's only the tip of the iceberg: there are so many great poems and stories in this volume, and since it's free, it doesn't hurt to leaf through on your computer or phone (just not during class!).
