The Poetry Unbound podcast did an episode on my Beowulf! You get to hear the first 25 lines read by the magnificent host Pádraig Ó Tuama, and then he goes into a wide-ranging discussion of the translation. So good! ❤️

Okay, folks who've taken a class with me or would like to take a class with me, what would you like me to teach next time? It came up in this one that I've never taught a How To Write Weird class. So that's one thought.

Maria Dahvana Headley I found that the link you provided resulted in an error page. This seems to be the right one:

Speaking of things that came from people who took my classes, here's an awesome one!

Last call to sign up for my current writing class! I teach a couple times a year, & I throw my whole self into it. This class is 2 two hour sessions (Jan 13 & 20) on finding your voice - your writing voice, full stop, or a particular project's voice. theshipmanagency.com/classes/craf...

I took one of MDH's classes, transformative. If you need a writing lift in your life, sign up!

Teaching a class this month on finding your voice as a writer - and on rebooting yourself for 2024! Link is in my bio!

This is coming up on Saturday! You can still sign up.

Maria Dahvana Headley is the New York Times-bestselling, World Fantasy and Hugo Award-winning author of eight books, most recently Beowulf: A New Translation (MCD x FSG, 2020), which is taught at universities all over the world, and won the Harold Morton Landon Translation Award.

This comic grew out of an incredible class on adapting canonical works taught by Maria Dahvana Headley - I think about it all the time! (“Canonical works” in this case meaning The Canterbury Tales and Mr. Ed)

This is awesome!!! kristen haas curtis took a class w/me at the TheShipmanAgency shipmanagency.bsky.social workroom, a couple years ago & this comic grew out of it! I'm teaching a class, in Jan, if you're interested in learning how to write w/your own indelible voice & style, one exercise at a time! Link in my bio.

I wrote an essay for the British Library's extremely beautiful exhibition book, Realms of Imagination, edited by Tanya Kirk & Matthew Sangster. It's full of incredible writing about fantasy literature. My essay's about storytelling immortality in Beowulf. You want this book!

I went to Vergil's glam birthplace to celebrate the release date of my new Audible UK 🎧 musical about Vergil, writer's block, & The Aeneid! Yeah, I wrote a musical! It stars Will Young & Claudia Kariuki, & it's 10 queer & very epic episodes. Get it: adbl.co/vergil

Happening in January! Scholarships and gift cards available! It's going to be fun, and it's open to all. Link in the bio.

Man, I'm so sorry to hear that Gabe Hudson is gone. We knew each other only a little bit, but once, the first time we met, we cackled in a corner at a party for like three hours straight, getting into all the dark corners and turning them glitter, then dark, then glitter again.

This book is amazing and i blurbed it, and it's out and about! Go get it!
