Dr. Hales is the author of four poetry collections. The most recent, "Separate Escapes," was awarded the Richard Snyder Poetry Prize. Since she became the coordinator of the MFA program in 2001, Hales has created unprecedented opportunities for graduate students, including the Distinguished Author Literary Reading series, the Philip Levine Poetry Book Contest, the Andres Montoya Memorial Scholarships and two cash awards for students in fiction and creative nonfiction.
