SR Pod/Vod Series: Poet Shannon Ward

Each Tuesday we feature audio or video of an SR Contributor reading their work. Today we’re proud to feature a podcast by Shannon Ward.

Raised in a renovated slaughterhouse on the outskirts of Wilmington, Ohio, Shannon Ward is currently working on her first collection, Blood Creek. She received an MFA in Poetry from North Carolina State University in 2009 and currently teaches composition at her undergraduate alma mater, Methodist University in Fayetteville. She is the recipient of a 2011 Vermont Studio Center Artist’s Grant, the 2009 Bruce and Marge Petesch Fellowship, and the 2007 Longleaf Press Writing Award. Her work has appeared in Tar River Poetry, Marginalia, and Burdock.

You can read along with her poems in Issue 8 of Superstition Review.
