## Resource

After 25 years shaping poets and revolutionizing creative writing at New Mexico State University, Connie Voisine is retiring—but her legacy lives on. A Guggenheim and Fulbright winner, she helped merge the MFA program into the Creative Media Institute, pioneering interdisciplinary arts education. From her bilingual Maine roots to Yale and finally Las Cruces, Voisine’s journey mirrors her belief in poetry as a force for truth and connection. With multiple books, a nonprofit for disabled writers, and a New Mexico Governor’s Award under her belt, she’s leaving behind not just a classroom, but a transformed literary landscape. Now, with her husband Rus Bradburd, she’ll travel the world while staying rooted in the desert poetry she helped cultivate. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
