Congrats to Mark Jay Brewin, Jr.

Congrats to Mark Brewn (MFA '11, poetry) on another forthcoming publication!

I am happy to say that my poem, "Letter about my last night in
Carbondale, Illinois" was accepted for publication in Mason's Road out
of Fairfield University. It's a long one, too. Another poem that would
have never come to be--skill or subject wise--if I hadn't attended the
wonderful MFA program at SIUC. Missing all of you.

The Journal has decided to nominate my story, "The American Indian is
Dead," which came out in their spring issue and which is still up on
