Having taught creative writing at the university level for 13 years, Carol Hebald resigned a tenured associate professorship in English at the University of Kansas in 1984 to write full time. She has since published the memoir, The Heart Too Long Suppressed (Northeastern University Press, 2001); the novella collection, Three Blind Mice (Unicorn Press 1989), for which she received the 1988 McGraw-Hill Pushcart Prize nomination; and four poetry collections: Delusion of Grandeur (2016), Colloquy (2015), Spinster by the Sea (2005), and Little Monologs (2004). Her poems have been anthologized in Little Brown’s Woman, An Issue, Bantam Books Intro II, and Poems From The Hawkeye State (Iowa State University Press). They have appeared also in Pen International, International Poetry Review, Commonweal, Massachusetts Review, The Humanist, North American Review, Antioch Review, Free Inquiry, Ararat, New Letters and Confrontation. Her short fiction has appeared in North American Review, New Letters, Cottonwood Review, and Texas Quarterly.
Hebald's essay "Dealing with Demons" was recently published in the September 2015 issue of USA TODAY magazine. Her novel, A Warsaw Chronicle, is forthcoming from Regal House Press in March, 2017.
