Lawrence Lawson lived and worked as a
teacher of
English with the Peace Corps in Ukraine from 2005 to 2007. When
he wasn't learning Ukrainian or
observing pro-democracy political rallies, he was writing about his
experiences. Lawrence's non-fiction work about his Peace Corps experience was nominated for the 2007 Pushcart Prize. As well, an excerpt of his current work of non-fiction, When a Lobster Whistles in the Mountains: A Peace Corps Honeymoon in Ukraine, will be published in Peace Corps at 50, a four volume collection of stories celebrating the 50th anniversary of Peace Corps. His work has also been published in various Peace Corps publications, including Worldview magazine and “In The Field” magazine, and at perigee-art.com (where he took, respectively, second and first place in Perigee's 2004 & 2005 prose competitions). Lawrence recently received his Master's Degree in TESOL from the Monterey Institute of International Studies. He is currently teaches at a college in Southern California. After leaving home at age 15, Lawrence has gone on to become the first person in his family to earn an MA. He is hard at work completing his second book, a fantasy novel entitled The Aria of Davin Ford: Midnight Quit of Starlight. |
