ENGL 401-2 - The Writer in the World: New Perspectives on Writing

Upper Division

English 401-2 is a year-long Graduate Level course (1.5 credits per semester, 3 credits total) for all 1st-year MFA students. Over the course of the year, students will attend a year-long series of readings, craft talks, master classes led by writers, scholars, and editors, and will participate in student-centered discussions. In addition to sharing their own work and scholarship, the series’ speakers will address topics relevant to the three genres of the MFA Program (creative nonfiction, fiction, and poetry), as well as discuss what it means to be a “writer in the world”-one who balances a creative writing life with the demands of the profession.
