WRITER IN RESIDENCE


Wolverine Farm Publishing and Wolverine Farm Publick House strive to be valuable resources for local writers of all genres. In order to better serve the writing community and encourage individual authors and poets to interact with one another and build a strong network, we present the Writer in Residence (WIR) program. Every tow months we select a local writer who agrees to be present and in good writing form at the Publick House throughout the term, and to perform a free, public, in-house reading or workshop in collaboration with our other monthly residents.


2023 Writers in Residence

SEPTEMBER + OCTOBER Marie Turner

Marie Turner is a former scientist who now works in the English department at CSU, where she teaches and researches how language shapes scientific research and multispecies relationships. She writes in many genres and has published in academic biological and social science journals, but is most excited that her first creative piece (a lyric essay) is forthcoming in Fourth Genre. She has a PhD in Plant Genetics and a dual-genre MFA in fiction and creative non-fiction. She lives in Fort Collins with her partner, a wild seven-year-old, and very wild garden. 

Find Marie at the residency Showcase the end of October.


JULY + AUGUST Aislin (Ash) Neufeldt

Aislin (Ash) Neufeldt (she/they) is a queer and trans writer from Kansas who is new to Colorado by way of Chicago. Her previous work regards the interaction of queerness and place, and their current work takes more autoethnographic forms to engage queerness with the environment. You can find some of her work in Essay DailyTrans Bodies, Trans Selves, and the Gay & Lesbian Review Worldwide with forthcoming publications in The AutoEthnographer.

Find Ash at the residency Showcase the last week in August.


MAY + JUNE Ty Baniewicz

Ty Baniewicz (he/she/they) is a queer trans writer and dancer. They’ve contributed freelance journalistic work to SoutherlyMicTruthOut, and This Week in Palestine, and worked as a community reporter for Lafayette, Louisiana’s The Current LA. A former fellow at the San Francisco Writers’ Grotto, Ty received his M.F.A in Nonfiction from the Creative Writing Workshop at the University of New Orleans. If she’s not thrifting or crafting elaborate cocktails for friends, Ty’s probably pole dancing under their stage name, Jason Waterfalls. Ty welcomes all pronouns respectfully, and currently lives in Fort Collins.

Find Ty at the residency Showcase the last week in June.


MARCH + APRIL Laura Roth

Laura Morrison Roth is a poet from Albuquerque, New Mexico. As of now, she is an MFA candidate in poetry at CSU, an editorial assistant for Colorado Review, and a composition instructor.

JANUARY + FEBRUARY Heather Reid

Heather Anne Reid is a poet, storyteller, and expert on all things glass.   When not appraising antiques, Heather can be found around town anywhere there is a microphone and an audience.  She has twice been featured by The Coloradoan as part of the USA Today’s Storytellers Project, and hosts her own storytelling open mic,  DimeStories, here at Wolverine the first Sunday of every month.
