Mile-High Writing

This week’s Mile-High MFA Summer Spotlight is Confidence Omenai!

We’re excited to welcome Confidence back to the Mile-High MFA community and celebrate the powerful, healing-centered creative work she continues to bring into the world.
Welcome back, Confidence!

Today we’re highlighting Kate Partridge and the thoughtful, interdisciplinary perspective she brings to the Mile-High MFA community.

Her work across poetry, creative writing, American literature, documentary studies, and gender studies reflects the many ways writing can engage with history, identity, craft, and the world around us.

This week’s Alumni Book of the Week takes us into a Colorado mountain town where pride, rivalry, loyalty, and resilience collide.

Irish Town by Matthew John Meagher explores what it means to fight for home, community, and identity in the face of change.

Congratulations, Matthew!

We’re excited to share “Writing for the Whole Person: Jesuit Creative Writing Pedagogy,” written by Alyse Knorr and Andrea Rexilius for The Writer’s Chronicle.

The article explores how creative writing at Regis is shaped by Jesuit values — including care for the whole person, mentorship, community, social justice, and writing that moves beyond the classroom.
