Kidd Workshops 22-23

It was a busy end-of-the year season for the Kidd Workshops. We were happy to continue our partnership with UO’s Undergraduate Research Symposium, with 25 Kidd students doing creative presentations during the May 25th event. The students competed for URS’s Kidd Program Award, which recognizes excellent literary readings from students enrolled in the Kidd Program. We had so many compelling readings, making it very difficult to choose our winners but here they are:

In the Poetry category, the winners were: 1st Place ($150): Kelly Kleinberg. 2nd Place ($100): Cash Robinson.

In the Fiction category, 1st Place ($150): Abigail Punches and 2nd Place ($100): Sarah Stover.

We celebrated the Kidd Students in a two-day end-of-year reading, where each Kidd student read from their work. We also distributed the 2022-23 Kidd Workshops Anthology, which features each student’s best work from the year. In addition, we awarded the LOI Prizes, given to the best Line-of-Inquiry craft essay written in the program. Congrats to the Kidd Workshop students and all they have accomplished throughout the year.

Fiction:

2nd place ($50): Isabella Senatori, Saunders’ Satire: an Appeal to Empathy as Moral Economic Intervention

1st place ($200): Sarah Stover, Color Imagery: How to Interpret Color in Stories

Poetry:

2nd Place: ($50): Phillip Chan, Melancholia and Memory: On the Taiwanese American Identity of Victoria Chang’s Poetry

1st Place: ($200): Kristine Marek, Metaphor and the Search for Consolation in Elegy 

Congrats to all of our students!

The Sewanee Review Podcast: Garrett Hongo & Eric Smith

“This week on the Sewanee Review Podcast, managing editor and poetry editor Eric Smith catches up with Garrett Hongo, who received the Aiken Taylor Award in Modern American Poetry in 2022. In this episode, Hongo breathes further life into a handful of his poems: ‘A Garland of Light’ details his relationship with Robert Hayden, and ‘Bugle Boys’ reckons with the terrible loss of his father’s hearing and the bittersweet memory of the two men assembling a radio for the last time. History has a habit of swallowing itself up, yet Hongo proves the power of a life’s story told in verse—the possibility of reconjuring the stories that once seemed lost to time. ‘Poetry is human culture,’ Hongo asserts, as both a plea and a prayer.”
