He&#8217;s interested in using description and lyricism to bring a love of nature, farming, and the rural American Midwest to what is (hopefully) an accessible space. More information about him and his work can be found on his <a href=\"http:\/\/jekcarter.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">website.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #993300\">How would you describe your perspective on teaching?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Practice and revision-oriented. I grew up working on my family\u2019s farm, where the only way to learn how to do something was often through practice, and the skills or tools required for one job were typically also applicable to another. When I started studying creative writing in college (and later in graduate school), I was surprised by the similarities between farm work and the work of a writing workshop\u2014collaboration, self-evaluation, out-of-the-box thinking, problem-solving, recognizing the dis\/connections between objects or ideas, etc.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->In my classroom, this translates to a pedagogy centered on regular writing practice paired with revision and reflection, so that it can be learned from. In my mind, feeling the weight of a bale of hay and finding the best way to move your body to load a hay wagon involves the same kind of practice, revision, and reflection as moving a piece of writing from an early draft to a published piece.<\/p>\n<p>My goal, whether it\u2019s in the composition classroom or creative writing classroom, is for my students to leave with not only a better sense of their individual writing processes, but a realization that this process of practice, revision, and reflection is useful beyond the writing classroom.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #993300\">Are you working on any projects at the moment?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019m continuing to work on a collection of midwestern gothic poems that began as the creative project for my master\u2019s degree. The collection focuses on using the midwestern gothic traits of the grotesque, the macabre, and the supernatural to create a space of tilted reality and transformation, blurring the line between human and nature in ways that resist expected images of the rural American Midwest as static, wholesome \u201cflyover country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>My interest in the subject grew out of my experiences growing up on a farm and having a perspective of nature and \u201crurality\u201d that was often different than that of many people I\u2019d meet. As fewer and fewer people live and work on small farms, images and ideas of what rural, farming life is or looks like often become flattened and generalized in a way that obscures hard realities and ecstatic beauties. My goal for the collection is to\u2014as with everything I do\u2014use my love of the rural Midwest to disrupt these generalizations.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #993300\">What are you currently reading, if anything?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019m currently reading Hanif Willis-Abdurraqib\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Crown-Aint-Worth-Much\/dp\/1943735042\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>The Crown Ain\u2019t Worth Much<\/em><\/a> (which is amazing), and I\u2019m also rereading Mary Shelley\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gutenberg.org\/files\/84\/84-h\/84-h.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Frankenstein<\/em><\/a> (which is as amazing as the first time I read it).<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #993300\">What are some of your hobbies or interests?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Aside from writing and reading, I don\u2019t have a ton of hobbies or interests. In the warm months, I spend a lot of time working in my garden, where I grow a chaotic mess of tomatoes, field corn, pole beans, sunflowers, sage, lavender, and a few other random herbs.<\/p>\n<p>I live and work on my family\u2019s farm, so I\u2019m often also busy with farm work. In fact, we\u2019re getting ready to have lambs from our small flock of Horned Dorset ewes, so check me out on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jekcarter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a> for some pictures of baby sheep over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #993300\">Who are your biggest role models?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Role models are a little difficult, because some of them are pretty personal. I can definitely say, however, that the writers Wendell Berry and Gene Logsdon were essential to my development, not just as a writer, but as someone interested in thinking critically about rural life in general. Through their writing, both offer distinct, unbending perspectives of farming and nature that go against and are critical of mainstream thought.<\/p>\n<p>As I\u2019ve grown as a writer over the last few years, the poetry of Ross Gay has also become important to me. Until I read his book, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.poetryfoundation.org\/poems\/58762\/catalog-of-unabashed-gratitude\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude<\/em><\/a>, I didn\u2019t realize how long I\u2019d been looking for poetry where the human body interacts with and becomes part of nature the way it does in his poems. If you haven\u2019t yet, you need to read <a href=\"https:\/\/solsticelitmag.org\/content\/burial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">his poem, \u201cBurial.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #993300\">What is a piece of advice you would offer students?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Visit and talk to your professors. I didn\u2019t learn how useful it was until the last year or so of my undergraduate degree, and I didn\u2019t realize how rarely people actually do it until I became an instructor myself. All of us are professionals in our fields, and all of us want to see you succeed.<\/p>\n<p>Also, if you can, read something unrelated to school every day. After I finished my second degree, one of the most surprising things was how strange it felt to read something I wasn\u2019t reading for a class. When I recognized that little joy, I was sad that I had lost it or forgotten it for 6-ish years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Carter is a 2018 graduate of Ball State University, where he earned his Master of Arts in Creative Writing and where he also holds a B.A. in English\u2014Creative Writing with a Professional Writing Minor.
