Karren LaLonde Alenier
Fiction Writer, Poet
Chevy Chase, MD
I'm a poet first and one who writes opera libretti from a series of poems. My forthcoming book ON A BED OF GARDENIAS: JANE & PAUL BOWLES crosses between poetry, fiction, play-wrighting and these are the poems that form my libretto HOW MANY MIDNIGHTS, a project I'm working on with composer John Supko. I also write about opera both essays and reviews. Gertrude Stein is often my subject matter.
Stephanie Allen
Fiction Writer
Greenbelt, MD
My short story collection, A Place between Stations, was a finalist for the AWP Award Series in Short Fiction and the Hurston-Wright Legacy Award in Debut Fiction. For the last several years, I've taken part in the PEN/Faulkner Writers-in-Schools program in Washington, D.C., and I teach fiction workshops at the Writer's Center in Bethesda, Maryland. I hold a B.A. from Yale University and an M.F.A. from the University of Maryland, College Park, and I live just outside of Washington, D.C., with my husband, Kurt.
