Su Cho (PhD, 2021) and Canese Jarboe (PhD, 2024), have both been named 2025 NEA Fellows in Poetry and will receive grants of $25,000 each.
Cho will join Vanderbilt University’s MFA program as an assistant professor in fall 2025; Jarboe published their collection Sissy (Garden-Door Press) in 2024 and was also a 2024 Tallgrass Artist-in-Residence.
The National Endowment for the Arts website explains that “[t]hese fellowships represent the agency’s most direct investment in American creativity. The goal of the fellowships program is to encourage the production of new work and allow writers the time and means to write.”
Congratulations Su and Canese!
