He makes his home in Spokane, with his wife and son.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what Seth had to say about his experience in the program:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe decision to pursue a creative writing degree is ultimately a decision to invest: in one\u2019s craft, in oneself as an artist. Part of that means investing wisely, through internships and through submitting work, but it\u2019s also a matter of set and setting. The places and people you surround yourself with are a huge part of helping you shape your own creative identity, and what I found at EWU helped me find that for myself. The workshops carried a strong focus on practical theory, and the voices that the program selected helped ensure a broad range of thoughtful and constructive feedback. Not only that, but the city of Spokane is an incredible place for the arts right now. Whether you\u2019re into music, or visual arts, or slam poetry, there are things going on here that you simply won\u2019t find anywhere else. It\u2019s part of why I chose to make this city my home \u2013 we\u2019re on the ground floor of something amazing right now, and I\u2019m incredibly grateful to be part of it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seth Marlin\u00a0is a former Web Editor of\u00a0Willow Springs, and received his MFA in Fiction from Eastern in 2013.
