About Me
- Michael Copperman
- I teach writing to at-risk students of color at the University of Oregon, where I received my MFA in fiction. I also have a B.A. in English with Creative Writing from Stanford, where I was a Presidential Scholar. My nonfiction has appeared in The Oxford-American, Creative Nonfiction, Guernica, GOOD, Copper Nickel, New Madrid, The Rumpus, Stanford Magazine, PostRoad, Luna Park, Teachers and Writers, Anderbo, Brevity, Eclectica, Intermat, The Oregonian, The Willamette Writer, The Register-Guard, and The Eugene Weekly, and is forthcoming from Gulf Coast and The Literary Review. I was the recipient of the 2009-10 Walter Morey Fellowship from Literary Arts, and I recently won a 2011 Individual Artist Fellowship from the Oregon Arts Commission and was concurrently nominated for The 2011 Pushcart Prize. My fiction has been published in The Arkansas Review, Copper Nickel, and 34th Parallel, and is forthcoming from Unsaid. My story “Harm,” was shortlisted for the 2009 Sean O’Faolain International Fiction Prize and appears in issue 17 of the Munster Literature Centre’s magazine Southword. From 2002-04 I taught in the MS Delta. I'm seeking representation for my novel.
