Westminster College will host a poetry workshop taught by poet Jill McDonough. Jill McDonough was a Stegner fellow at Stanford, and has published one book of poems, Habeas Corpus (2008), 50 sonnets, each one about a legal execution from 1608 to 2005. Poet Eavan Boland writes, "These poems, with their catalog of deaths and histories, build a powerful, relentless music. The music and plain-spoken craft in turn make clear that the true subject here is not death but human survival - in memory, language and suffering." When she's not teaching at Westminster College, McDonough works with incarcerated college students through Boston University's Prison Education Program. She has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Fine Arts Work Center and in 2010, is a Witter Bynner Fellow at the Library of Congress
