“Teaching at Under the Volcano was an unforgettable experience for me. It offers this exquisite blend of place and talent, all under the expert orchestration of Magda Bogin, and all of it aimed at the hard but essential work of forging better story tellers. I am proud to call myself a member of the Under the Volcano community, a sprawling, growing collection of writers who are now cheering each other on through all the ups and downs that inevitably flow from that endless battle to summon the right words.”
