Ann McCutchan is the author of four books: Marcel Moyse: Voice of the Flute, The Muse That Sings: Composers Speak About the

journalist, she has published in numerous journals and magazines; "Reaching for the End of Time," an essay on the music of Olivier
Messiaen, appeared in The Best American Spiritual Writing.

Of McCutchan's fifth, recently published book, Where's the Moon? a Memoir of the Space Coast and the Florida Dream, novelist Gail
Godwin writes, "Ann McCutchan's Where's the Moon? is an original coming-of-age story set inside an extraordinary chapter of our
country's history. Her graceful and vivid memoir reminds us how profoundly our personal history is connected to the dreams of the
era in which we happen to find ourselves."

Ann McCutchan has been awarded grants, fellowships and residencies from the Rockefeller Foundation, the MacDowell Colony, and
many others. Previously the director of the University of Wyoming's MFA program, she joined UNT's creative writing faculty in 2005.

She is currently working on The Life She Wished to Live: a biography of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, author of The Yearling. It is under
contract with W.W. Norton.
