Terri Witek, Caring Imagination Advisor

I am pleased that Terri Witek is an advisor to the Caring Imagination. The Caring Imagination is a hub for resources for creators and cultural workers who want to make, produce and disseminate art with compassion. We are adding more links weekly. The site focuses on resources that offer concrete how to guides on making art with compassion. There are resources on how to make accessible sites and events, how to diversify your reading, how to write gender-inclusive writing, advice on ensuring you aren’t appropriating another culture, and much more. If you have more links for relevant resources, please contact me at amanda at angelhousepress dot com.

Terri Witek is the author of Something’s Missing in This Museum (2023), The Rattle Egg (2021), The Rape Kit (2018), Body Switch (2016), Exit Island (2012); The Shipwreck Dress (2008), a Florida Book Award winner; The Carnal World (2006), Fools and Crows (2003), Courting Couples (winner of the 2000 Center for Book Arts Contest), and Robert Lowell and LIFE STUDIES: Revising the Self (1993). A native of northern Ohio, she teaches English at Stetson University, where she holds the Sullivan Chair in Creative Writing. In 2000, she received the McInery Award for Teaching, and in 2008, she received the John Hague Teaching Award for outstanding teaching in the liberal arts and sciences.

Throughout her career she has worked with visual artists, and the reverberations between mediums is explored in much of her work. Her collaborations with Brazilian new media artist Cyriaco Lopes have been featured in galleries or site-specific projects in New York City, Los Angeles and elsewhere.

Our 2023 AngelHousePress Caring Imagination Crowd Funding Campaign is well underway with only a few weeks left. Small presses and journals have generously donated books, chapbooks, and merch, which you can choose if you back our campaign.

We are also almost at the deadline for submissions to NationalPoetryMonth.ca. Contributors of poetry and visual poetry will receive an honorarium for the work that we publish on this annual magazine that comes out every April with the goals of transcending geographic and genre boundaries of poetry and highlighting and supporting creators who have been systematically excluded from literary and arts canons. Visit AngelHousePress for more information on how you can submit your work.
