My essay, "Under the Gun: The Voices of Men in a Time of Violence", has been published in Kiese Laymon's magazine, Cold Drank.  I hope you will be moved by its urgency and continue to think about art, education, beauty, and cultures of reflection in this moment of severity.  For all of my teachers.  For all of our teachers.  And for all of our students.

From the BU Creative Writing announcement:

A few months ago we reported that a poem by Lisa Hiton (Poetry 2011), “The Senator,” had been published in the DMQ Review. We are excited to report that this poem has been nominated by the magazine for a Pushcart Prize. Congratulations and good luck, Lisa!

Lisa's name and the other nominees for the magazine can be found in the fall issue of DMQ Review.
