This course focuses on the conceptualizing of a book-length manuscript of prose (fiction or creative nonfiction) or poetry.

The theory and informing aesthetic of behind the writing project will be articulated in an Artist’s Statement. Each student will also be required to present a graduating craft talk, based on their writing project and open to other MFA students in the program.
