From the age of thirteen her interest in writing was\n         evident as she created a large body of poetry. She continued\n         her interest in writing by working on the school magazine,\n         \"Inklings\", at Pulaski County High School. After graduating\n         from high school in 1976, she attended Hollins College in\n         Roanoke, Virginia and received a B.A. in English and Film in\n         1980, and in 1982 she earned a M.A. in English and Creative\n         Writing. Throughout this period she continued to write poetry,\n         short stories, plays, and got married to writer and critic\n         Richard H.W. Dillard in 1979. They were divorced in 1992. Her\n         first book, Phenomena (1983), was reviewed as one of the five\n         best books of poetry published in 1983. Since then she has\n         published a short story anthology, Learning the Mother Tongue\n         (1987), the highly acclaimed novel, A Blue Moon in Poorwater\n         (1988), and another book of poetry Afterimages (1991).\n         Additionally, her reviews, poems, and short stories have\n         appeared in such journals as Yarrow, the Chicago Tribune\n         Sunday Magazine, and College English. Hankla was visiting\n         lecturer in fiction writing at the University of Virginia\n         (spring of 1985), Randolph- Macon's Woman's College Writer in\n         Residence (spring of 1987), and visiting Assistant Professor\n         at Washington and Lee University (1989-1991). Currently, she\n         lives in Troutville, VA and is an associate professor of\n         English at Hollins College (1986-present).","Collection processed in April 1993.","Cathryn Hankla's collection contains her poetry, short\n         stories, plays, and novels from 1971 to 1992.

From the age of thirteen her interest in writing was\n         evident as she created a large body of poetry. She continued\n         her interest in writing by working on the school magazine,\n         \"Inklings\", at Pulaski County High School. After graduating\n         from high school in 1976, she attended Hollins College in\n         Roanoke, Virginia and received a B.A. in English and Film in\n         1980, and in 1982 she earned a M.A. in English and Creative\n         Writing. Throughout this period she continued to write poetry,\n         short stories, plays, and got married to writer and critic\n         Richard H.W. Dillard in 1979. They were divorced in 1992. Her\n         first book, Phenomena (1983), was reviewed as one of the five\n         best books of poetry published in 1983. Since then she has\n         published a short story anthology, Learning the Mother Tongue\n         (1987), the highly acclaimed novel, A Blue Moon in Poorwater\n         (1988), and another book of poetry Afterimages (1991).\n         Additionally, her reviews, poems, and short stories have\n         appeared in such journals as Yarrow, the Chicago Tribune\n         Sunday Magazine, and College English. Hankla was visiting\n         lecturer in fiction writing at the University of Virginia\n         (spring of 1985), Randolph- Macon's Woman's College Writer in\n         Residence (spring of 1987), and visiting Assistant Professor\n         at Washington and Lee University (1989-1991). Currently, she\n         lives in Troutville, VA and is an associate professor of\n         English at Hollins College (1986-present).","Collection processed in April 1993.","Cathryn Hankla's collection contains her poetry, short\n         stories, plays, and novels from 1971 to 1992. The material\n         documents the development and maturation of Hankla from the\n         age of 13. The bulk of Hankla's collection is in her poetry\n         drafts (1971-1989) and her published work (1980-1992). There\n         are no significant gaps in her collection since its contents\n         are spread out evenly throughout its 21 year period.","Another strength of Hankla's papers is in her poetry.\n         Containing the poems that she has written over a 18 year\n         range, many of her initial poems have been revised repeatedly.\n         These drafts provide an insight to her development as a poet\n         and writer by demonstrating the obvious changes in her style,\n         form, and content. The weakness of this collection is the lack\n         of any biographical information about Cathryn Hankla. Except\n         for some passing information in some of her book reviews,\n         there is no significant information about Hankla herself.","In this collection of novels, poetry, short stories, plays,\n         theses, and notes, a large area of interest is in her\n         published work.

Specifically, the\n         correspondence shows her initial contact with numerous\n         publishing companies and her continuous discussion with the\n         eventual publisher about the evolution of her work. As a\n         result, the collection documents the complete development of\n         her work from draft to review.
