Rebecca Hazelwood is a writer who puts off writing until she can stand it no longer. She loves poetry. She teaches college freshmen how to write and tries to survive graduate school. She takes a lot of gratuitous pictures of herself. Her past lives (which are never really in the past) include interests in photojournalism, French language and culture, and religious studies. She is native to Kentucky, but she has lived in Missouri and France. Now she lives in Georgia.

She also collaborates on Structure and Style, a new poetry blog.

This hit a little close to home, guys.

My parents were pretty good at not letting me see their struggle for money, but yeah, I ate a lot of tv dinners growing up. When we switched to real butter in the late 1990s, it was a big deal because I’d never had it before—but I guess we could finally afford it. And yeah, this makes me realize why I’m so bad at blowing my student loan money. I’m also, by the way, terrified I won’t find a job after I graduate in May.
