We're pleased to announce that our 2023 – 2024 Poet-in-Residence will be Chelene Knight! We're very excited to get Chelene started working with mentorships for poets who have not yet published a full-length collection of their work. For more details, visit buff.ly/3ZWxp29
Graphic with text surrounding a photo of Chelene Knight. The background is purple and there are dots in the top left and bottom right corners. The text at the top of the image reads: "Arc's 2023 – 2024 Poet-in-Residence." The bottom text is Chelene's bio and reads: "An entrepreneur, the author of three books, and the recipient of several awards, Chelene Knight is founder of Breathing Space Creative Literary Studio where she works as a freelance editor, author care specialist, and writing coach."
