BEAR RIVER 2012: MAY 31- JUNE 4, 2012

Dear Bear River Enthusiasts,

We hope you like our new web site. It has been beautifully designed and put together by Bear River staff and the CMS staff at the University of Michigan. Most of what you looked for before is here – but it may be in a little different location. Please browse through and acquaint yourselves with the new layout.

Please note that we have a new editor-in-chief of the Bear River Review - Greg Schutz. We also have a new associate editor- Allison Peters. Allison will also join us to help with organizing scholarship applications. You may learn about them on the PEOPLE page.  Keith Taylor, Kaye Curren, and Catherine Calabro will also be with us again this year. Chris Lord and Jennifer Metsker have gone on to new and happy future plans and we will miss them greatly.

For new writers to Bear River, Past Faculty and Workshops will give you an idea of what the conference generally offers in terms of genres and writing ideas. Bear River is dedicated to producing new work at the workshops – work that you can take back home with you and have to pursue publication.

Find email, telephone and fax information in the CONTACT US area.

We are proud and happy to say Bear River was highlighted in two important publications in 2011. You will links to those articles in Poets & Writers Magazine and Traverse Magazine in the NEWS area.

Please contact us if you have any questions. Our conference email is beariver@umich.edu.
Our Bear River Review email is BearRiverReview@umich.edu.
