I do live in Nebraska and let me say the word fashionista has not yet made it to the heartland. We say styly.
I also want to say that I think you are doing a fabulous job with your blog! I love the voice you are developing sensitive yet robust, globe-trotting but down to earth. When I read your recipes, I want to try them -- altho here in Nebraska the associations with vinegar and afterbirth are somewhat jarring. Any recipes for corn and pig jowls? Anonymous MFA candidate stuck in the prairie
Styly, huh? Not bad. Actually, I can give you a recipe for corn tamales or corn chowder ...and how about pig's feet? Interested?
My mother-in-law used to make pig's feet with white beans--something I never though I'd eat, but I must confess to eating it straight out of the pot after going to the movies in Trastevere--Cinema Pasquino--a converted church--on a cold winter's night back in 1970! Must have been a helluva movie.
I earned a BS from Ithaca College, an MA from Adelphi University and taught Physical Education and coached sports on Long Island before a twenty-year sojourn to Italy. I speak Italian and Spanish.
Upon returning to the States, earned an BA in English and an MFA on Creative Writing from FIU. I was an adjunct professor at St. Thomas University in Miami Gardens, FL for one year.
My debut poetry collection, Cooking Lessons, was published in 2007 by Rock Press. A second collection, Coffeehouse Meditations, was published in 2010 by Kitsune Books. My third collection, She Wouldn't Sing at My Wedding, a narrative elegy for my Mom, was published in 2013 by Bridle Path Press. My fourth collection, Faraway Confections is forthcoming from Kelsay Books. A debut short story collection, The Other Side of the Gates, is forthcoming from Bridle Path Press. My poetry chapbook, A Prayer in a Summer of Grace, is forthcoming from flutter Press.
I have taught many poetry and fiction writing workshops in libraries and at writing conferences and offer editorial services. Contact me on my website: www.ninaromano.com
