Tayari's Blog: Pop a Cork!-- JMM Writer In Residence

More happy-dancing is in order. I've just found out that I will be the 2006 Jenny McKean Moore Writer in Residence at George Washington University. It's a sweet gig. Low teaching load, cool Foggy Bottom Housing, and of course THIS MEANS ANOTHER YEAR IN DC!

Here's the good part: The Jenny McKean Moore writer in residence also offers a FREE community writing class for people in the DC Area. There will be more details to come, but if you would be interested in participating the class, comment and I will put you on the list of people to send more information!

Congratulations, most definitely.
I'd like to be in that writing class, that is if I can't take one in-school next year

Congrats, Tayari!!

I applied for a lectureship at a university in DC, and will hopefully (crossing fingers) be up there by the Fall. Put me on the list *tentatively*

Congratulations, Tayari!!

Go gurl!! Go gurl!!

But look here... I need for you to do something like that down here in your ATL hometown... Why don't you get a residency down here, so I can take a free class!!! LOL!! (Or at least send me some bootleg videos of some classes, girl!!)

Again, Congrats :)

Hi Tayari,

I am in the DC area and a graduate of the Jenny McKean Moore 2005 community fellowship (that one was in poetry, Dana Roeser). I'd love to be on the list and apply again for this fellowship and study with you!

Heard you today on WPFW. Your realness came over the radio waves and touched me on the shoulder. If single middle-aged white women aren't automatically disqualified, I would be honored to participate in your writing class at GWU. Please keep me informed.
