Why the MFA?

I just graduated! Again! It might seem superfluous for someone who already has a Ph.D. and another Master's degree (Social Work!), but I love the structure of being "in school," even as a low-residency program, and I wanted to bring my creative writing up a few levels.

I loved this low-residency Pan-European program from Cedar Crest College in Allentown, PA-two weeks in Europe for 3 summers, Vienna, Dublin & Barcelona. Here's a graduation picture of the 9 of us--poets, creative non-fiction, & fiction writers--now they've added screenwriting too! I couldn't say enough good about this program, the wonderful faculty, and how fun it was to be immersed in the country's culture and history while being at work on our literary skills!
