A generous donor has made it possible for us to send most of our students abroad after they complete the two semesters of our workshops. The Robert Pinsky Global Fellows in Poetry and the Leslie Epstein Global Fellows in Fiction may go to any country and do there what they wish, for a typical stay of three months. In the summer of 2009, students traveled to places such as Greenland and Patagonia; in 2010, some set sail to Iran, Vietnam, and Greece. This summer and fall, students will embark on journeys to countries such as Kenya, India, Cuba, and Timor-Leste.
Our creative writing program is demanding. After a year of study with our faculty–in fiction, with Leslie Epstein, Ha Jin, and Sigrid Nunez, and in poetry, with Robert Pinsky, Louise Glück, Dan Chiasson, and Rosanna Warren. We are very pleased to offer our students an experience that will continue to challenge as well as delight.
