FACULTY:
Vermont faculty member Jan Clausen signed a contract with Seven Stories Press for the re-issue of her 1999 memoir Apples and Oranges: My Journey Through Sexual Identity. The Los Angeles Times called Apples and Oranges “a wonderful meditation on the nature of desire,” praising the book’s “intelligence, its good-humored, common-sense approach to life,” and the resulting “portrait of the human capacity to reinvent oneself.” Read Jan’s thought on reissuing her memoir in Second Time Around on the MFA Goddard Creative Writing Program’s blog The Writer in the World.
