A local teacher and poet will be attending the Glen West Workshop in Santa Fe, New Mexico this summer, thanks to special grant funding from Image Journal and the Davis Foundation.

John Davis Jr. (unrelated to the foundation’s namesake), English Department Chair for the Vanguard School of Lake Wales, received notification in late December about the scholarship, which will cover tuition fees for the late July conference. There, Davis will be attending poetry seminars presented by renowned writer Amy Newman and similar literary events.
