In January, Portland’s Literary Arts named Linfield professor Joe Wilkins one of its two 2024 Oregon Literary Career Fellowship recipients. With the fellowship came $10,000 and one of the most prestigious literary honors in the Pacific Northwest.
Wilkins serves as chair of the English department, director of the creative writing program and a member of the environmental studies faculty.
He won an Oregon Book Award for “When We Were Birds,” a poetry collection, in 2017.
For Literary Arts, Wilkins submitted two short stories, “Every Moment Shines, When You Cut It Open,” published in Moss, and “Enough of Me,” which appeared in High Desert Journal.
Wilkins’ next book, “The Entire Sky,” will be released July 2.
