Jennifer Metsker: pretty rad? Yes.


Props to Jennifer Metsker for being chosen as a finalist in the Cut Bank's Patricia Goedicke Prize in Poetry (the lovely Karyna McGlynn was also a finalist. UofM, holla!).

I work with Jennifer (Ms. Metsker if you're nasty) at the Sweetland Writing Center at UofM which gives me frequent opportunities to corner her in her office and force her to talk to me. She's pretty rad.

Someday I will get her to show me more of her work. In the meantime I, and you, will have to settle for her poem "Poltergeist" which was published in the Autumn 2007 issue of The Southern Review and featured on Verse Daily last year.
