Hi all -- <br>
<br>
It's always hard in the summer to remember to tell the UCR <br>
world about important things, or at least it is out here in <br>
the desert where it's currently 100 degrees at 10:30pm, but I <br>
wanted to draw your attention to two very cool things from two <br>
of our recent graduates:<br>
<br>
Rick Marlatt, the very first person admitted into the low <br>
residency and part of our inaugural graduating class, has just <br>
won the Seven Circle Press Chapbook contest for his first book <br>
of poetry, How We Fell Apart, which was written over the <br>
course of the last two years he was in the program. Rick was a <br>
screenwriting major and wrote his prize-winning book in cross-<br>
genre courses with Matthew Zapruder and Jill Alexander <br>
Essbaum. For more info about Rick, visit: <br>
<a href="http://rickmarlatt.com/index.html" target="_blank">http://rickmarlatt.com/index.html</a><br>
<br>
Meanwhile, Jeff Girod, who also just earned his degree in <br>
screenwriting, was awarded the National Humor Columnist of the <br>
Year award by the National Society of Newspaper Columnists for <br>
his work each week in the Inland Empire Weekly. You can read <br>
more about Jeff and his award here: <br>
