Residencies

Upcoming residency . . .   August  3-13, 2008.

Campus

"The structure of this MFA program is ideal.  Participants have the opportunity to develop their own writing
while getting exposure to some of the best writers and teachers available."

Informal Discussion with Ann Pancake

"Excellent faculty, lots of positive energy, a great exposure to new writers, new literature (my reading list
just grew by the dozens), new writing techniques, and even a little chance to do new writing."

Class on Translation

"Overall, I feel like I've been given the gift of new tools, new perspectives
on how to look at my work and that of others with more clarity."

Barbecue Break

"Bottom line—I couldn't be happier."

Mid-week Jazz Festival

"This residency—compressed time—has provided me with a time out of time that has allowed me
to immerse myself in language, contemporaries, the writing world.  Excellent."

Participants and Faculty listen to Albert Goldbarth

"I am impressed with the caliber, commitment, and generosity of the faculty.  Their willingness
to engage with us in and out of the classroom made this experience unlike any other I've had."

R&R

"Past excellent, past superhuman, past legendary—whatever that is."

Gathering for Morning Talk

"You have achieved balance between mutual support and self-reliance—it's unusual, and exactly right. 
I hope eventually to bring that kind of balance to my own teaching."
