We’re thrilled to report that Caitlin Doyle (Poetry 2008) has received a series of exciting literary honors this spring. She has been awarded a 2013 Literary Grant through the John Anson Kittredge Fund. Kittredge Fund grants are awarded to “individuals at an early stage of a promising professional career in the arts, humane letters, and the social sciences.”
Caitlin has also been selected as the recipient of a Tuition Scholarship for the 2013 Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference at Middlebury College.
In addition, she has been awarded this year’s WC&C Scholarship in Poetry through AWP (Association of Writers and Writing Programs). Each year, the WC&C Scholarship Program awards one scholarship to a poet and one to a fiction writer.

Caitlin has been selected for a residency fellowship this upcoming fall as a Writer-In-Residence at the James Merrill House in Stonington, CT. The James Merrill House provides the resident with time and space to work supported by a fellowship stipend. While in residence, the Fellow engages with the local community through a variety of possible means, such as readings, workshops, and presentations.
This spring, Caitlin has also published two book reviews. Her review of Heidy Steidlmayer’s “Fowling Piece,” which appeared as a Prose Feature at 32 Poems Magazine, can be read here. Her review of Jane Satterfield’s “Her Familiars,” was published in The Common and is also available online. She also has new articles, reviews, and poems forthcoming in a variety of literary venues, including The Cork Literary Review, Blackbird, and Chautauqua Literary Journal.
Congratulations, Caitlin!
