We’re very pleased
to offer the Rutgers-Newark Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing, now
accepting applications from full and part time candidates on a rolling admissions
basis for Fall, 2007. Our MFA Program, located on the most richly diverse undergraduate campus in the nation, a mere PATH train ride from Manhattan, will be both cutting edge and deeply important. Literature comprises the consciousness and conscience of a culture, and our MFA for the 21st Century is designed to nurture many voices. Our Writing Faculty includes novelist and short story writer Jayne Anne Phillips, novelist Tayari Jones, and short story writer Alice Elliott Dark (In The Gloaming) in Fiction, distinguished poet and translator Rachel Hadas, and M.F. Steinhardt Fellowship poets Rigoberto González and Dennis Nurkse in Poetry. Our accomplished Nonfiction faculty are Pulitzer Prize finalist James Goodman, Vietnam and science fiction specialist H. Bruce Franklin, and jazz pianist and author Lewis Porter. Many of the visiting editors and authors who comprise our Writers at Newark series do a workshop and all of them do MFA-only Q & A’s. Writers visiting in 2007/08 include, among others, Rick Moody, Suketu Mehta, Jo Ann Beard, Major Jackson, Katherine Russell Rich, Junot Diaz, Cyrus Cassells, Monique Troung, Elisa Albert, Ed Schwarzchild, Gerard Stern, and Anne Marie Macari. We invite you, writers from diverse backgrounds and cultures, students whose excellence as writers will enrich Rutgers-Newark and the Newark community, to join us in this new and unique program in our exciting inaugural year. Please peruse our ideas. We encourage you to apply to this exciting new Program with a strong, competitive manuscript and the dedication required by your craft and your calling. |
