Deni Naffziger, Hocking College English Faculty, recently published her first full-length collection of poetry, Desire to Stay, published by Stockport Flats Press. Her collection reveals the desire to live without regret and encourages readers to find their true self.

Prior to Desire to Stay, Naffzinger published three chapbooks titled Intervals, Close to Home and an untitled chapbook-length collection of poems for Crazy River. She also co-authored Revenants: A Story of Many Lives, with fellow Hocking College English faculty member Jane Ann Devol-Fuller, who served as editor for her most recent collection. Mark Hackworth, Hocking College Art, Design and Marketing Coordinating Instructor, also contributed to Naffziger's most recent collection by creating the cover art.
