NMSU Creative Writing faculty publish widely—everything from poetry, fiction, essays, scholarship, and hybrid texts—and are active in their literary communities. Here are a few publication highlights, featuring their recent books:

Poetry Professor Richard Greenfield is currently working on a new book of poetry. Many poems are on the nature of sound, music, and hearing, especially in the dichotomy of organic nature and virtual nature. 

Fiction Assistant Professor Kelly Krumrie’s third book, Concentric Macroscope—a novel about radio transmissions, sound, linguistics, art, and heartbreak—was published by Crop Circle Press in March of 2026.

This summer, Visiting Assistant Professor of Fiction Jessica Alexander published the novel Agnes, We’re Not Murderers!, a literary horror remix of iconic gothic sagas.

Visiting Assistant Professor of Poetry Joni Wallace’s most recent collection of poems is Landscape with Missing River. Former NMSU professor Connie Voisine writes of the collection, “Wallace’s poems offer us the natural world’s consolations, which are that the land has little and everything to do with human grief. Landscape with Missing River is a must-read book for all of us haunted.”
