Accessible and Teachable: Richard Meier directs the creative writing program at Carthage College. He also curates and directs the Visiting Writers Series. Previously, he held a full-time position as visiting poet at Columbia College in Chicago and was an assistant professor of English at Beloit College, where he was also director of creative writing. Given the nature of this book, which is almost a meditation on the practice of writing itself, this book should appeal to other professors for course adoption in creative writing classrooms and MFA programs.A Poet's Poet: Although Meier has kept a low-profile in his career, his last book with Wave was selected by Toma? ?alamun for the Verse Prize. He has been published in many esteemed journals including Lana Turner, Tammy, Conjunctions, 1913: A Journal of Forms, Evening Will Come, Columbia Poetry Review, Paris Review, and others.
