Caleb Merritt

Education Programs Coordinator

Caleb Merritt is an artist who holds an MFA from Boise State University. You can find some of the things he writes/makes/hodgepodges together at literarymerritt.gumroad.com, which is supposed to be a clever pun on his last name. His work has been published by Sextet, Word For/Word, and The Temz Review, among others.

He proselytizes about Robert Bringhurst’s The Elements of Typographic Style, Simon Stålenhag’s The Electric State, and pretty much any poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins to pretty much anyone who brings up ‘books,’ ‘literature,’ or ‘reading’ as conversation topics.

He’s excited to jump into the role as the Education Programs Coordinator as he has seen (and continues to see) the immense impact literacy programs have on children, students, teachers, the community, and himself.
