About April Burns Trepagnier

I believe sentences can end with a preposition.I am also passionate about the Oxford Comma.I have been known to swear – a lot. I am often told my words on paper sound just like the words in my mouth. I would like to take that as a compliment. I would also like to tell you I have a MFA from Columbia. What I actually have is a high school diploma and an Honorable Discharge from 12 years of active duty naval service.* I believe everyone and everything has a story that deserves to be told.I have a strong theory that telling those stories is the answer.*2025 Update - I decided to test the theory. so I became a 43-year-old college freshman at Georgia Southern University (BA, summa cum laude, 2023; MA, 2025). In August 2025, I begin my PhD work at the University of Tennessee.
