Cass Dalglish is a novelist, poet, and short fiction writer. She holds
an MFA in fiction as well as a Ph.D. in Creative Writing. She is an
assistant professor of English, teaching creative writing, news and
feature writing, and computer-assisted reporting at Augsburg
College in
Minneapolis. She will teach next summer at the Grand Marais Art
Colony
on the shores of Lake Superior. In her doctoral work, she specialized
in
the study of ancient and archetypal women's literature. She is
currently
working on poetic translations of stories and songs written in clay by
Mesopotamian women four thousand years ago. She is fascinated
by
coincidences she finds in the Grail Legends and the stories of the
Descent of Inanna. Dalglish recently completed a draft of Moist
Wind
from the North, a novel which she describes as a reminder of
women's
history, a history which slips all too easily from personal and
cultural remembrance. Her first novel, Sweetgrass (Lone Oak
Press), was
nominated for a Minnesota Book Award in the mystery category in
1993.
Dalglish is a former journalist who has worked in both the print and
broadcast media.
