Writing-Related Awards:

- The Susan C. Petrey Clarion Scholarship, 2006, granted in conjunction with the Clarion West Writing Workshop.
Notes:
- The Dänikbharata was to be an epic poem telling the story of the Hindu gods who turned out to be, as claimed by crackpot Erich von Däniken, ancient alien visitors to Earth. The epic was to tell the story of their fall through the history of humanity, followed by their eventual battle for a place on the Mother Ship when their alien comrades returned to pick up a select few. (With seating limited, a war among the pantheons breaks out, with the final battle being between the Norse and the Hindu pantheons.) The project may be recommenced someday, but for now, it’s on a backburner so far back I have to squint to see it at all, just as is my epic poem Taiping!, about the bloody Taiping Rebellion that took place in mid-nineteenth century China, and several other verse projects.
