      EddieJoe Ivan Cherbony says teachers who recognized his potential influenced his decision to become a writer.
      
      "I guess they saw something that I was doing on my essays and different assignments and they wanted to encourage that," he says. "There wasn't too much of that going on around me. None of my friends were writing, and no one that I knew had those types of aspirations." Collapse

      I choose to respectfully disagree with J. Brooks (?) above. Kristen is perhaps one of the most prolific and successful poets to have been part of the Notre Dame writing program. Her poetry - as well as her prose - is all the more appealing because it comes from a fount of experience and empathy. Kristen has an excellent stage presence as well that only adds to the experience of the event. This is one woman to keep an eye on. Collapse

      I had the pleasure to hear Kristen Eliason read at Lula's coffee shop one year ago. Simply put, she is a tremendous reader. She completely energized the crowd and left us all hungry for more. Her often funny, sometimes bizarre, always compelling poetry about life in a foreign culture completely won me over. I can't praise her highly enough. Collapse
