Owen Moore writes, translates, and works in Washington, DC where she makes her home with
her banjo-playing husband and two-year-old son. Her poems have appeared in Confrontation,
half tones to jubilee, and Abiko Quarterly. Her translations have
been published in TriQuarterly, The Literary Review, and as a special
chapbook section of Mid-American Review. Currently, she works for the
Council of International Exchange of Scholars, the organization that
administers the Fulbright Scholars Program. Asked to comment on her time here
as a graduate
For me the best thing about
my experience at ULL was its flexibility, what I most value and require as a
writer and as a thinker. My professors and the students in my classes supported
me as I ventured into new territory, in my poems and in my thinking. No one
ever told me not to try something or to be prudent. Because I could push aside
the tamed mind (my own), I grew tremendously as a writer and as a person.
The second best thing about
living in Lafayette is that you can always go to the swamp and see what the
alligators are doing or see what trees are in bloom. It’s always Carnival there
in one way or another.
