UND alumnus returns to alma mater as a featured author at Writers Conference
No full textUND alumnus returns to alma mater as a featured author at Writers Conference
Brian Maxwell is returning to his alma mater this week to share his talents as part of the 2014 Writers Conference.
Since graduating from UND with a Ph.D. in English, specializing in creative writing, Maxwell has gone on to be featured in Fugue, Evansville Review, Louisville Review, The Beloit Fiction Journal, Rio Grande Review, 580 Split, 2 Bridges Review, Sierra Nevada Review and elsewhere.
But he hasn\u27t lost touch with the University that helped him get his start.
When deciding on where he wanted to obtain his Ph.D., Maxwell knew UND was the perfect fit for him.
I heard great things about the faculty and about the program, he said. I wanted to study creative writing and UND was ahead of the curve at the time in respect to offering an advanced degree appropriate to my interests.
When looking back on the education he received while at UND, Maxwell had nothing but positive things to say.
I feel as if my education from UND was top notch, he said. I was able to specialize in avenues of study that interested me personally, and to participate in a number of various modes of study that I hadn\u27t really even considered before. The English Department at UND really is an academically diverse group; taking advantage of their divergent interests was certainly key to my education.
It was his professors and love of reading that spawned his love of writing.
My teachers taught me how to read, and showed me that to be a writer one needs first to write, to learn by trying and failing and trying again, said Maxwell.
While at UND, Maxwell was recognized for his work by being awarded the Henry and Mary Doak Scholarship for Excellence in Writing. He was also nominated for the Best New American Voices series.
Humbly, Maxwell attributes much of his success to his UND education.
Without UND, I might not have a career at all. My time at UND helped me to figure out that I wanted to teach writing, and that I could also be a professional writer at the same time. Since I was lucky enough to land a full-time teaching job in my hometown (Melbourne, Fla.), you might say that UND helped me come full circle, said Maxwell.
So what advice does Maxwell have for students to help them obtain the job of their dreams?
Find someone who is doing what you want to do ? and pay close attention. Also, be flexible. Times change, and so do dreams, I think, whether we realize this fact or not, said Maxwell.
Maxwell is slated to be part of this year\u27s Writers Conference on Friday, April 4. His reading session will begin at 4 p.m. and will take place at the North Dakota Museum of Art. The Writers Conference

In, out and after care: Young adults' views on their lives, as children, in a therapeutic residential establishment
No full textChildren who have been severely maltreated may be placed in therapeutic children's homes (also known as residential treatment centres) in order that their often acute emotional and behavioural needs can be addressed. There is little data on process within these settings, especially outside the US. This article contains findings from interviews carried out with 16 young adults who had been placed in a therapeutic children's home in England. These former residents were asked for their views concerning the care they had received. The respondents were, in general, positive about their experiences, particularly in terms of their relationships with staff, life story work, leisure activities and the contact they had with staff after leaving the homes. Some of them were also happy with their experiences in relation to therapy, school, friendships and preparations for leaving the placement but others were less contented in these respects. The evidence from this research is that this highly disadvantaged group of children can be provided with a good quality of care within therapeutic children's homes

About the Writers Conference authors:
Robert Pinsky
Pinsky\u27s first two terms as United States Poet Laureate were marked by such visible dynamism, and such national enthusiasm in response, that the Library of Congress appointed him to an unprecedented third term. Throughout his career, Pinsky has been dedicated to identifying and invigorating poetry\u27s place in the world.
As Poet Laureate, Pinsky founded the Favorite Poem Project, in which thousands of Americans — of varying backgrounds, all ages, and from every state — shared their favorite poems. Pinsky believed that, contrary to stereotype, poetry had a vigorous presence in the American cultural landscape. The project documents that presence, giving voice to the American audience for poetry. The anthology Americans\u27 Favorite Poems, which includes letters from project participants, is in its 18th printing. The most recent anthology, An Invitation to Poetry, comes with a DVD featuring 27 of the FPP video segments, as seen on PBS. In April 2009, WW Norton published Essential Pleasures: A New Anthology of Poems to Read Aloud.
Elegant and tough, vividly imaginative, Pinsky\u27s poems have earned praise for their wild musical energy and ambitious range. Selected Poems, (spring 2011) is his most recent volume of poetry. His The Figured Wheel: New and Collected Poems 1966-1996 was a Pulitzer Prize nominee and received the Lenore Marshall Award and the Ambassador Book Award of the English Speaking Union.
Pinsky\u27s Tanner Lectures at Princeton University were published as Democracy, Culture and the Voice of Poetry (Princeton University Press, 2002). His other books about poetry include Poetry and the World, nominated for the National Book Critics\u27 Circle Award, and The Sounds of Poetry, a brief guide treasured by many young poets.
Pinsky\u27s landmark, best-selling translation of The Inferno of Dante received the Los Angeles Times Book Award in poetry and the Howard Morton Landon Prize for translation. He is also co-translator of The Separate Notebooks, poems by Nobel Prize winner Czeslaw Milosz (Milosz was a featured author at the 1983 UND Writers Conference. A video clip of his reading can be found at http://library.und.edu/digital/writers-conference/1983/). Pinsky\u27s prose book, The Life of David, is a lively retelling and examination of the David stories, narrating a wealth of legend as well as scripture. Pinsky also wrote the libretto for Tod Machover\u27s opera Death and the Powers: A Robot Pageant, which premiered in Monaco in fall 2010. His book, Selected Poems, was published by Farrar Strauss & Giroux in spring of 2011. Pinsky\u27s newest book is Singing School: Learning to Write (and Read) Poetry by Studying with the Masters. He is also editing The Best of the Best American Poetry, the twenty-fifth volume of the popular Best American Poetry series. In March – June 2013, the Shakespeare Theatre Company performed a newly commissioned adaptation and translation of Friedrich Schiller\u27s Wallenstein by Pinsky. His newest project is a devised a collaborative program which showcases his two great passions: poetry and jazz. This offering is titled Poem Jazz and presents the human voice -- the reading and performance of poems – along with a variety of jazz musical improvisations.
Pinsky appears regularly on The News Hour with Jim Lehrer, and publishes frequently in magazines such as The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, The Three penny Review, American Poetry Review, and The Best American Poetry anthologies. He teaches in the graduate writing program at Boston University. Pinsky is also the winner of the PEN/Voelcker Award, the William Carlos Williams Prize, the Lenore Marshall, the National Foundation for Jewish Culture\u27s 2006 Jewish Cultural Achievement Award in Literary Arts, and the 2008 Theodore M. Roethke Memorial Poetry Award. He is one of the few members of the American Academy of Arts and Letters to have appeared on The Simpsons.

Conference background:
While the English Department traces its roots to the very founding of the University in 1883, the Writers Conference only began in 1970. Founded by the late Professor John Little, the conference had a modest beginning with the Southern Writers Conference of the Arts. Funded by the College of Arts and Sciences as well as by some of the visiting writers themselves, the conference was so successful that it became an annual event, almost immediately.
Though the conference quickly had university wide appeal and, since the mid Seventies, significant attendance from the community and region, it has always been organized by faculty, staff, and students of the English Department. In more recent years it has become known nationwide as one of the most distinctive conferences of its kind, in part because it remains free and open to the public, probably the only way it could function.
Financial support for the conference has always come from a variety of sources, depending on a particular conference topic or other factors in shifting personnel and circumstances at the university. Historically, the steadiest support has been from student organizations, the President\u27s office, the Provost\u27s Office, and grants from outside agencies, as well as donations from alumni and other individuals. This year, the College of Arts & Sciences has generously provided the majority of the funds necessary to run the Conference. The UND Writers Conference is also actively working to grow various endowments, managed by the UND Alumni Foundation, to ensure that the UND Writers Conference will continue in the future and is planning fundraising events with that goal in mind.
UND Writers Conference Digital Collection:
The UND Writers Conference Digital Collection is also available online. This collection currently has about 112 hours of past conference footage freely available online, including footage from the past eleven years, so that anyone with an internet connection can watch
A heuristic study into spirituality in the counselling relationship
No full textThrough a qualitative heuristic study (Moustakas (1990), four counsellors who identified with their spirituality, were interviewed to explore spirituality within the therapeutic relationship. Through reflexive processes, the experience of the author remained visible within the research, integrating personal and professional experience with that of the research participants. The literature review suggests that psychotherapeutic change both affects, and is affected by spiritual concerns. Transcripts of semi-structured interviews produced the data needed for analysis. The data was analysed and interpreted using Moustakas’ (1990) process. The research identifies three distinct themes, Connection, Transcendence/Mystical, and Definition. The growth of spiritual interest within the general population, and within psychotherapy, suggest that there is a need for counsellors to incorporate spirituality into the therapeutic relationship. Further research suggestions would be, to extend the theory and practice of psychotherapy by exploring the spiritual dimension of human development
