Donna French McArdle (donnamcardle)

I have poems included in the anthology Lost Orchard: Prose and Poetry from the Kirkland College Community from SUNY Press, January 2014, and have published poetry in Prairie Schooner, Antioch Review, Cutbank, Coe Review, and Wilderness House Literary Review. In 2003, I received a grant from the Massachusetts and Boxford Cultural Councils to create and self-publish Essex County Harvest, a book that follows the New England growing season for a year and includes short features on several local farms and farm stands. From 2004 to 2005, I wrote numerous features, enterprise articles and book reviews for a local bi-weekly, The Village Reporter. I hold an MFA from the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop, and for the past eight years have been a writing coach for a public school.
