Poet, writer, and editor Ya’ara Shehori was awarded the Fulbright International Writing Program and is, as we speak, participating in the International Writing Program (IWP) at the University of Iowa.

Yes, definitely, this is what you would have said, as if I were a grasshopper with its ears up its legs.
