Welcome to Redux’s new assistant editor for poetry!
Clara Jane Hallar, assistant editor, is a poet currently
residing in Spartanburg, SC. She will graduate from Converse College June 2017
with a Master of Fine Arts degree of Creative Writing with an emphasis in
poetry. Her creative work is inspired by poets like W.S. Merwin and Jim
Harrison to Carolyn Forche and Elizabeth Bishop, and her critical research
dives into the world of political poetry, defining the purpose of poetry to go
beyond the page with the spirit of Adrienne Rich's "the personal is
political" in mind. She is a co-collaborator of a poetry reading series
called "Pints & Poets" in partnership with Converse College, Hub City Tap
House, and MFA Director Rick Mulkey. Pints & Poets is a creative cask
series that celebrates the local Carolina poetry community and has three events
per academic fall and spring semesters. Read more about the series here.
