SUMMARY:David Koehn & Maw Shein Win
DESCRIPTION:David Koehn and Maw Shein Win will brighten any mid-winter 
 blues we may have with the beauty of their poems and persons. Witty 
 repartee and delicious snacks will also be served.\n\n \n\nDavid Koehn won 
 the May Sarton Poetry Prize with his first book\, "Twine" (Bauhan 
 Publishing\, 2013). Judith Kitchen in the Georgia Review applauded it as 
 “illuminated”and complicated”by invention.” He published 
 "Compendium" (Omnidawn Publishing\, 2017)\, revisiting Donald Justice's 
 approach to prosody. Koehn's second book of poems\, "Scatterplot" (Omnidawn 
 Publishing\, 2020)\, per a review in Gulfstream\, "helps make sense of the 
 world."  "Sur\," his third full-length collection\, was released by 
 Omnidawn in the fall of 2024.  Koehn's writing appears in the Kenyon 
 Review\, New England Review\, Alaska Quarterly Review\, Rhino\, Volt\, 
 Carolina Quarterly\, Diagram\, McSweeney's\, The Greensboro Review\, North 
 American Review\, The Rumpus\, Smartish Pace\, Hotel Amerika\, Gargoyle\, 
 Zyzzva\, Prairie Schooner and elsewhere. He earned his BA in Creative 
 Writing at Carnegie Mellon and an MFA in Creative Writing at the University 
 of Florida. David has taught a post-graduate workshop\, “Prosody as A 
 Form of Revision\,” for the last decade and a post-graduate workshop\, 
 “Forms: Breaking The Bowl\,” for the past five years both online for
