Personal statement: David Brendan Hopes teaches all the creative writing genres--poetry, fiction, non-fiction, playwriting--and has developed de facto specialties within the department in Shakespeare, Drama, Irish Studies, Milton, and the Romantics. His second book of nature writing, Bird Songs of the Mesozoic, is forthcoming from Milkweed Editions. In the past year, he has won several important playwriting prizes. Abbott's Dance (Siena Playwrights Prize Winner, 2003) and Man in Flight were both performed in New York, and The Class of 1950 was premiered in Nashville at the Southern Playwrights Conference. 7 Reece Mews is due for a New York premiere in 2004, and a one-act called Piss will appear at the theater festival in Liverpool, England, in the fall of 2003. Hopes is staff writer for The Critical Review, and has poetry forthcoming in a number of national periodicals. Active in the local theater scene, he appears regularly with Asheville Lyric Opera, Asheville Community Theater, Area 45, Highland Repertory Theater, and is a bass with Cantaria men's chorus and the All Souls Cathedral choir. |
