In the forthcoming issue of MAKE (just a few more weeks!) Dorothea Lasky talks with Univ. of Chicago’s George M. Pullman Professor Lauren Berlant about being an educator and the role of affect in both Berlant’s work and her own.  She is the author of AWE (Wave Books, 2007) and Black Life (Wave Books, 2010) and several chapbooks.  Her poems have also appeared in American Poetry Review, Boston Review, The Laurel Review, Puppy Flowers, and Columbia Poetry Review, among other places.  She has been educated at University of Massachusetts-Amherst, Harvard University, and Washington University.  Currently, she studies creativity and education at the University of Pennsylvania.  She can be found online at www.birdinsnow.com.

Born and raised in Seattle, Joshua Marie Wilkinson’s 2 new books are just out: The Book of Whispering in the Projection Booth, from Tupelo Press, and 12×12, a collection of conversations, poetry, and poetics, from Iowa, which he co-edited with Christina Mengert.
