This website was created as part of a project for a sabbatical funded by The Harrisburg Area Community College. The original idea was to create a website and blog about the author's travels that could be used by writing teachers to discuss the process of writing with their students, and for literature teachers to use information about literary sites related to the authors whose work they are teaching. Hopefully it has evolved into that and much more. The opinions expressed here the author's, alone, and do not represent Harrisburg Area Community College or its other employees in any way.
Pat Hanahoe-Dosch has an MFA from the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona, and is currently an Associate Professor of English at Harrisburg Area Community College, Lancaster campus. Her poems have been published in The Atticus Review, Confrontation, The Red River Review, San Pedro River Review, Red Ochre Lit, Nervous Breakdown, Quantum Poetry Magazine, The Paterson Literary Review, Abalone Moon, Switched-on Gutenberg, Malala: Poems for Malala Yousafzai, a Good Works anthology by FutureCycle Press to raise money for the Malala Fund, and Paterson: The Poets’ City (an anthology edited by Maria Mazziotti Gillan), among others. Articles of hers have appeared in Travel Belles, On a Junket, and Wholistic Living News. Her flash fiction story, “Serendip” was published in the In Posse Review, and her story, “Sighting Bia,” was selected as a finalist for A Room of Her Own Foundation’s Orlando Prize for Flash Fiction. Her book of poems, Fleeing Back, published by FutureCycle Press, is available through futurecyclepress.org or Amazon.com.
When she turned 30, she sold or gave away most of what she owned, stored her books, car and few other things with a friend, and backpacked all around Southeast Asia. Later, she spent six years teaching for the University of Maryland’s overseas programs on military bases around the world, including Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Bosnia, Turkey, Egypt, Germany, Spain, and Okinawa, Japan, and traveled throughout those parts of the world. After returning to the US, she taught at various colleges in Washington D.C., Chicago, Vineland and Paterson, NJ, before finally settling down in Lancaster, PA, to teach at HACC (a very unfortunate acronym she hopes has not worked any malicious influence on her). She spent many summers since then traveling around the world to places like Sri Lanka and India, among others. The essays/articles and photos here are products of some of those travels, but mostly based on her experiences driving around the USA.
