The idea behind
Inkling: An Online Journal of Poetry and Prose was to promote and
encourage the work of creative writers throughout the Minnesota College
and University system by giving them an exclusive but competitive
forum where they could display their work. The original project
was funded by an Academic Awards
for Excellence grant through the MnSCU system. Now in its third year,
Inkling is funded by absolutely nobody. That's right, the folks
listed below do it because they see the value of the project and they
may even like to do it (suckers).
Ann Boldt, Editor:
Ann Boldt teaches reading
and writing at Pine Technical College. During what used to be Ann’s
spare time, she enjoyed collecting agates on the North Shore, visiting
antique stores in small towns, and taking long walks in the woods near
her home. Since late December, the new addition to her
family—Nicholas—has kept her busy. Now Ann enjoys driving to Wal-Mart,
drinking a hot cup of coffee, and sleeping for 4 hours straight. Ann’s
poems have appeared in Mankato Poetry Review, Mobius, and Minnesota
River Review.
Mike Borash, Technology Guru:
Most conversations with Mike around Pine Tech begin the same way, "Mike,
I need your help." All that changes is the degree of panic. To his
credit, most of the conversations end in a sigh of relief. Without
him, Inkling would be disseminated on stone tablets (and not the fancy
ones, either).
Stacey Foster, Editor:
Stacey will receive her MFA degree from Hamline University in May, 2008.
Her poems have been published in Talking Stick and Literary Mama.
She owns Crooked Arbor Books, located in Hinckley, MN (which is
really an attempt to satisfy her addiction to books), and she works at
Pine Technical College as the Assistant to President Musgrove and
sometimes College Composition Instructor.
Stacey has a daughter, Maggie, age 10; a son, Casey, age 8; a
carpenter husband; and a 10-year old black lab who still thinks she’s a
puppy.
Chris York, Editor:
Chris teaches English and American Studies at PTC. He has poems
published in The Mid-America Poetry Review, Georgetown Review,
and Elysian Fields Quarterly, among others. At times he wonders if the comma
splice epidemic currently ravaging the nation is not somehow a form of
terrorism. If he could be anybody in the world, he would be Batman. To
those who would say, "but Batman isn't real," he would respond,
"exactly."
