Abstract
"Our core faculty comprises writers who have distinguished themselves
in their teaching as well as on the page. Their collective achievement is
seen in the shelves and shelves of their published books. It is also reflected
in their many literary honors, which include—to name a few—the National
Book Critics Circle Award, the National Medal of Arts, the Rea Award for
the Short Story, the PEN/Malamud Award, the Walt Whitman Award, the O.
Henry Prize, the PEN Hemingway Award, the Whiting Writer’s Award, and the
L.A. Times Book Prize. Core faculty members have appeared on innumerable
best-seller lists; they publish regularly in the most prestigious magazines;
they have received grants and fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation,
the Lila Wallace-Reader’s Digest Foundation, the N.E.A., and the Library of
Congress, among others. Yet every faculty writer has a confirmed passion
for the workshop and the one-on-one engagement that is the heart of our
MFA program."
