March 12-18, 2012: Annette Marie Hyder and William Wright Harris

My poetry has appeared in nine countries in such literary journals as The Cannon’s Mouth, Ascent Aspirations, generations and Write On!!! I am a student at the University of Tennessee- Knoxville, where I have studied poetry in workshop settings with such poets as Jesse Janeshek, Marilyn Kallet, Arthur Smith, and Marcel Brouwers. In my work I juxtapose concrete images with abstract notions, often write in structures such as unr1hyming couplets and triadic verse, stress economy, and utilize such literary conceits as the ekphrasis poem, parallel structure and the incorporation of mythology within my work.
