Alumni Accomplishments:
Michael Carman, charter alumna of the first two Gribner workshops (2005), is thrilled to report publication on two fronts: Her first book of poetry, a chapbook, "You in Translation," was published by Toadlily Press in September 2008; and her first creative nonfiction piece, "Adventures of a Telltale Heart," was published in the Winter/Spring 2009 issue of the literary journal "The Same." Michael is now teaching Professional Writing in Art and Design as an adjunct instructor at the Fashion Institute of Technology/SUNY in Manhattan. Her students, she says, are all design majors, and wonderfully creative. She loves them very much! Shelley Seale, who describes herself as "Writer & Travel Junkie," is excited to announce that the manuscript which she workshopped in Gribner 2007, The Weight of Silence: Invisible Children of India, was published on June 15, 2009. For more information, please see http://weightofsilence.wordpress.com or email Shelley at

Kerstin Lieff, a participant in Gribner 2007, has published her essay “when all has turned white,” in the online literary journal FragLit, Spring 2008. In Fall '09, Kerstin began a Low-Residency MFA program at Fairleigh Dickinson in New Jersey. Sandy Suminski, of Gribner 2007, and her husband Sean O’Leary have a new son, Cary Leonard O’Leary, born on April 29, 2008. Sandy Suminski also reports that her essay “The City of Light," originally published in the Bellevue Literary Revue, Fall 2003, has been selected for The Best of the Bellevue Literary Revue edition, published in Fall '08.
