LEWISTON — Claire Guyton of Lewiston has been named the Maine Arts Commission’s 2012 Literary Arts Fellow. She is co-editor of “The Writing Life” section of Hunger Mountain literary journal, where she started and now anchors “Another Loose Sally,” a blog on writers and writing.
She introduced journal contributor interviews that she produces as a regular feature; and edits and writes other articles and essays. She earned a master of fine arts degree at Vermont College of Fine Arts in 2009.
“I write about ordinary people living extraordinary lives in the margins of things — so sidelined at times I fear they will never be heard by anyone but me,” Guyton said.
She will receive a $13,000 grant award in recognition of artistic excellence.
