[…] SY: Born and reared in Springfield, educated in Springfield and Fayetteville, Arkansas, at the MFA program in creative writing there, and really I learned publishing at McIlroy House at the University of Arkansas Press, so… you dance with the one that brung ye. This is my fifth published work of fiction, and you can see the whole list here. Both novels, the short story collection that won the Juniper Prize, and the novella that won the Knickerbocker Prize, all of them have been set in the Ozarks for the most part. I sure look forward to coming home and meeting readers at these events like this one. […]
