Alyssa Knickerbocker Receives Axton Fellowship

OK, it's official: the University of Louisville has awarded the Axton Fellowship in fiction to our own Alyssa Knickerbocker (MFA '10/fiction). The fellowship provides two years of generous support for a recent graduate of an MFA program, during which the fellow writes, teaches, and actively participates in Louisville's writing community. We are thrilled on Alyssa's behalf and also proud that she joins the ranks of our other Axton Fellows: Lauren Groff (MFA/fiction) and Derek Mong (Institute Fellow/poetry).
