Another country: Dora Malech
After teaching an extremely popular poetry workshop for the IIML in 2006, poet Dora Malech has returned to spend the year in Wellington convening one of the MA (Page) workshops at the Institute. Dora has a B.A from Yale and an M.F.A. in Poetry from the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop, and has already received a number of fellowships. Her poems are wiry, densely packed and sonically alive, and she reads them with great panache. Andrew Johnston quizzes her about her work and about the US literary scene.
