Endicott College issued the following news release:

Holder will also help Endicott's growing number of English majors, especially Creative Writing concentrators, network, publish their work, and secure internships throughout the region.

"We are very excited about this partnership," said Dr. Mark Herlihy, Chair of Humanities at Endicott. "Doug is incredibly well-connected. The writers he'll bring to campus will enrich the culture at the College. He will also be a terrific resource for our English majors."

The agreement is one of several recent arts-related initiatives at Endicott, whose reputation has risen steadily in recent years, and which in the last year alone moved from position 17 to 10 among regional colleges in the North in the U.S. News and World Report's "Best Colleges" rankings. While the College's commitment to applied learning and its internship program remain hallmarks of the institution, Endicott has embraced the arts, most dramatically in the opening of its Center for the Arts in 2009.

"This is a wonderful opportunity to be aligned with a rising academic institution," said Holder, an adjunct faculty member at Endicott and also the Arts Editor for The Somerville News. "I want the literary community and the community at large to know about the vital literary and arts programming at Endicott. And with their new Arts Center and their commitment to the arts in general, I am hoping to be involved in the creation of the Hub for the Arts on the North Shore."

Cornish, set to visit Endicott on October 6, is the author of six poetry collections, including An Apron Full of Beans (2008). He has had a distinguished career as a poet, essayist, editor of children's literature, photographer, educator, and figure in the Black Arts movement. On Thursday, November 18, authors Miriam Levine and Burt Stern will present at 4 pm in the College's Halle Library. That event is also free and open to the public.
