Nebraska Wesleyan University

So I am a visiting instructor at Nebraska Wesleyan University (here in Lincoln) for the coming year. I'll be teaching creative writing, running a reading series & advising the undergrad lit mag. My office is in that building pictured above. Though it's not nearly as sepia-toned as you might think, given that as your visual representation.
In my po classes this semester we'll be reading:
Noah Eli Gordon, A Fiddle Pulled from the Throat of a Sparrow.
Katie Degentesh, The Anger Scale.
Monica de la Torre, Talk Shows.
Graham Foust, Necessary Stranger.
Zachary Schomburg, The Man Suit.
Dorthea Lasky, Awe.
Arthur Sze, Quipu.
Harryette Mullen, Sleeping with the Dictionary.
You should read along at home. It'll be like fantasy baseball, except with more stats.
When I get things confirmed for the reading series I'll post it up here. Trust me. You'll want to travel in for these. Even if you are reading this from Botswana. Botswana City, Kansas, that is. Home of the midwestern sentimentalist hall of fame.

Oooh me me me! I want to read at home! What's the best way to get the books?
Well hello Mathias. I have linked to your blog now that I have discovered it. I'm still working on a list of fiction writers.
I plan on e-mailing you soon. We probably ought to meet sometime to talk about Octopus stuff.
Looking forward to the first day of class!

Is there a scorecard or other paraphernalia we need to play along in the home version? Will there be rice krispie treats?

I've actually ordered the special rice krispie treat editions of all of these books. Not so practical for taking notes, but delicious!
I'd rather read along in class, if that's okay. What's the best email address to reach you at? This is Katie (Michael's last assistant), by the way-- found you off Chelsea's blog. I'm so ready to be in a workshop again, is it alright if I still audit?
PS I now expect rice krispie treats to be involved.
Katie: my email address is ricekrispietreatsforpoetry@gmail.com
or rather mathias.svalina@gmail.com
or msvalina@nebrwesleyan.edu
Take your pick.
Don't pick the first one.
It's a ruse.
