Hannah Miet’s Occasional Howdy

January 10th, 2011

A former WORD writer who is enrolled in the Graduate School of  Journalism at CUNY. She was an award-winning student journalist at Hunter and is an award winning blogger. From time to time, she sends updates.

1. Next poetry reading: Bowery Poetry Club, Sunday January 16th, at 4 p.m. (Mark Calendars! Come! Bring friends!)

2. I had poems published in PANK Magazine and the Naugatuck River Review.

3. I posed as Ernest Hemingway for the 2011 Rumpus Literary Women Calendar, which you can order here.

4. An interview with me, plus some audio recordings of poems, will be up at Linebreak Magazine this coming Tuesday.

5. My non-fiction story, “Throw the Dirt, Brother” was published on Twitch. You can buy it for a buck on Amazon. (And it doesn’t matter if you don’t have an iPad, Kindle, or smartphone – there is a Kindle app for Macs and PCs that is free to download.)
