Cyn Neely Takes A Degree And A Bow!
Yesterday we attended Cyn Neely's Commencement ceremony at Pacific University in Forest Grove where she received her MFA in writing.
Many of us have read Cyn's work, mostly on the non-met forum, though believe me, she demonstrates considerable formal muscle in many of her poems we haven't seen workshopped here!
It was a joyous event, and it was a privilege to share it with Cyn and her family. We were also thrilled to attend her excellent final presentation last weekend which was enthusiastically received by faculty and students alike.
We await the book, Cynders!
And while we wait, let's all raise an airy glass to congratulate Cyn on this significant accomplishment!
Here's a link to some highlights! (The party lowlights afterwards were even better!!!)

Three rousing choruses of Gaudeamus Igitur! I'll sing 'em in three part harmony, all parts at the same time!  Congratulations, Cyn.

It seems to me it was only yesterday you were talking about thinking about enrolling. Never has anyone taken an MFA quicker or is time speeding up for me? No matter, it is impressive that you actually did it. I hope it gives you glory and also a well-paying job. Big, big congrats.

Congrats, Cyn! What a great accomplishment. And in Cally's pictures, I see Susan Cohen, a local poet here who I know from the reading scene.
