Candace Hill

Candace Hill is a poet, painter, and multimedia artist. Hill is a retired professor of Fine Arts, a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship recipient in multi-media in 1981, and had a one-woman exhibit at The New Museum in 1982. Hill has had two books of poetry published recently: MussSill (2020, distance no object) and Short Leash Kept on (2023, Materials).

Hill will use this residency to focus on a new book of Epic or Long Form poetry and use the printing press for accompanying drawings. She will also use the time to cull, expand upon and edit any poems with typographical errors written from the 1990s (pre-digital era) onward.
