New York University Faculty of Any and Sciences New York University Faculty of Any and Sciences Department of English Graduate Program in Cre;ane Wtitin~, 19 Unnersity`Place. Room 219 - New York. NY 100(13-4556 Telephone: (212) 998-8816 FAX: (212)995-4864 May 14, 2004 Dear Members of the Graduate Creative Writing Program, I'm delighted to welcome you to the 2004-2005 academic year at NYU's Graduate Creative Writing Program--both those of you who are entering the program this fall and those who are returning. I speak for myself and for all the faculty when I say that we greatly look forward to working with you this year. Our hope is to provide a community that helps you devote yourself wholeheartedly to your writing. We are committed to supporting you fully toward that end. Below you will find information about the coming year at NYU. You will also find various forms enclosed, which you will need to fill out and return to us in the next few weeks. PLEASE NOTE ALL DEADLINES CAREFULLY; these are important dates that must be observed by everyone. If you have any questions about these forms or about registration, please contact Danielle Nigro-Bullock, the Creative Writing Program's Administrative Secretary, at 212-998-8816 or at [email protected]. You may also contact Russell Carmony, the CWP's Program Coordinator, at 212-998-7584 or at [email protected]. If you have any questions about housing or financial aid, you may contact our representative in Graduate Enrollment Services, King Fung-Shelley, at 212-998-8056 or at king. [email protected]. And of course, I hope you'll feel free to contact me anytime, with any questions, no matter how small they may seem, at 212-998-8806 or at [email protected]. The fall term begins on Tuesday, September 7, 2004 and ends on Wednesday, December 8, 2004. Permanent Faculty E.L. Doctorow Galway Kinnell Panic Marshall Sharon 0ldc Program Director A1efsea Hmninerle Orientation and Welcome Reception for New and Returning Students An orientation will be held for all new Creative Writing Students on Tuesday, September 7, from 2 to 4 pin, and from 4 to 6 pm we invite all new and returning students to join us for a welcome reception. At the orientation we will provide a range of information on the CWP and several current students will join us to discuss our outreach projects (which are described below) as well as our literaryjoumal, Washington Square. The orientation and reception will take place at NYU's Ireland House, One Washington Mews (the entrance is on Fifth Avenue between Washington Square Park North and 8th Street). CWP Faculty During the 2004-2005 academic year, Creative Writing Program workshops in poetry will be led by Kimiko Hahn, Philip Levine, Sharon Olds, and Tom Sleigh. The Craft of Poetry class will be taught by Edward Hirsch in the fall and by Phillis Levin in the spring. Fiction workshops will be taught by Breyten Breytenbach, Nicholas Christopher, Paule Marshall, Irini Spanidou, Chuck Wachtel, and myself. (Chuck Wachtel's workshop will be a year-long workshop in the novel. You may sign up either for one term or for the full year.) The Craft of Fiction class will be taught by Paule Marshall in the fall and by Chuck Wachtel in the spring. Galway Kinnell, who founded the CWP in the 1970s, will be retiring in May 2005. Galway has been an enormous presence here at NYU, and he will be greatly missed. The program has been shaped by his leadership and vision and by his extraordinary generosity and brilliance as a teacher. Although he will not teach during the 2004-2005 academic year, he will be available for occasional office hours and meetings with students. I hope you will take advantage of his availability and arrange to meet with him. He's a special poet, a special teacher, and a special man, and you might be surprised by how much you can learn about writing from one or two conversations with him. Enclosed in this packet you will find faculty biographies. Books by our faculty are available for you to read in our lounge and are also available in NYU's Bobst Library. Please note that all students are expected to take at least one Craft course during their course of study in the program. Students pursuing the MFA degree may take as many as four Craft classes provided they are taught by four different instructors. Room assignments for workshops and Craft classes will be posted in the CWP lounge at the beginning of the term. Registration--Very Important Summer Deadlines! Registration in a creative writing workshop is a two-part process. First you must fill out the Workshop Preference Form included in this packet and return it to Russell Carmony. This form must be received by him no later than Friday, June 11. (You can mail or fax this form to Russell; the fax number here is 212-995-4864. You can also let Russell know of your preferences by sending them to him via email. His email address is given above.) We try to give all students their first preference, but when this is not possible, we assign workshops according to seniority: students registering for their fourth semester are given their first choice, and so on. In addition, we will try to ensure a mix of first and second-year students in each class. To find out which workshop you have been assigned to, you will need to call or e-mail Russell between Thursday, June 17 and Friday, June 25. Russell will then provide you with an access code, which you will need in order to register. Once you have your access codes, you can register over the phone by calling TorchTone (212-995-4747). You may also register online at www.albert.nyu.edu or in person at 25 W. 4th Street. If you are registering for a Craft course, you must follow the same steps outlined above. A Craft Course Preference Form is enclosed. Registration for fall electives is now open, so if you wish to take a class outside of the Creative Writing Program this fall, you may register for the class immediately, via TorchTone or online. (You do not need an access code to register for most university classes. If an access code is required you will need to obtain that code directly from the department offering the course.) You can view a complete listing of graduate courses offered at NYU this fall at www.nyu.edu/registrar. You may also consult the NYU Directory of Courses, which can be picked up in the Creative Writing Program, Graduate Enrollment Services or information centers around campus, for a list of all university graduate classes and for registration instructions. Many departments offer detailed descriptions of their courses; the English Department keeps a binder near the Graduate Secretary's desk. Also, we are enclosing a list of other schools at NYU that offer elective courses that might be of interest to you if you are pursuing an MFA. Remember: all electives must be 4 credit, graduate level classes. (Some graduate classes in other schools are only 3 credit classes.) If you have any questions about your class schedule or course options, please feel free to contact me. If you register for an elective course other than a Craft class or an English Department course, you must also fill out a CWP Elective Permission Form and submit it to me at the start of the term. That form is included in this packet. Please be certain to be fully registered by Friday, August 20 so that your aid and/or loan package is processed in due time. You have until September 14 to add or drop a course without penalty. Keep in mind that you are charged registration fees for adding or dropping a course after the first week of classes! You are also charged registration fees if you register for a course and drop that course before the first week of classes. Registration fees are non-refundable. Two additional dates to keep in mind: September 21 is the last date to register via TorchTone. September 28 is the last day to drop/add without a W (withdrawal) appearing on your transcript. Financial Aid (Loans)/Departmental Fellowships It is especially important that you register for your two classes by August 20 if you will be receiving any financial aid next year, such as fellowship awards or student loans. If you have questions about financial aid you can call the Financial Aid Office at 212-9984170. The Financial Aid Office should be able to inform you of the date you can expect to receive your first refund check (the money left over after your tuition has been paid). In order for the university to process your aid package you must be a registered student. Unlike other graduate students at NYU, for whom a full-time courseload consists of twelve credits, Creative Writing Students are considered full-time when they are registered for eight credits (two classes); this is in recognition of our students' need for time to write. Because of your special status within the university you are required to complete the Full-Time Equivalency Form (enclosed) to confirm that you are eligible for aid. Please fill out and return the form (indicating whether you are a full-time or part-time student) to Russell by June 11, 2004. Also, if you are a full-time student, please be sure to make your full-time status clear when you are filling out forms for financial aid.

Gage Chandler is descended from kings. That’s what his mother always told him. Now he is a true-crime writer with one grisly success—and movie adaptation—to his name, along with a series of subsequent lesser efforts that have paid the bills but not much more. But he is being offered the chance for the big break: to move into the house—what the locals call “The Devil House”—in which a briefly notorious pair of murders occurred in 1980s, FICTION apparently the work of disaffected teens.

    GRAYWOLF PRESS APRIL 2018 HARDCOVER Wade in the Water Poems Tracy K. Smith The extraordinary new poetry collection by Tracy K. Smith, Poet Laureate of the United States Even the men in black armor, the ones Jangling handcuffs and keys, what else Are they so buffered against, if not love’s blade Sizing up the heart’s familiar meat? POETRY / AMERICAN / AFRICAN AMERICAN Graywolf Press | 4/3/2018 We watch and grieve. We sleep, stir, eat. 9781555978136 | $24.00 / $31.50 Can. Love: the heart sliced open, gutted, clean. Hardcover | 88 pages 0.4 in H | 0.2 in W Love: naked almost in the everlasting street, Subrights: Brit., trans., audio, dram.: Graywolf Skirt lifted by a different kind of breeze. Press 1st ser.: Author c/o Graywolf Press —from “Unrest in Baton Rouge” Other Available Formats: Ebook ISBN: 9781555978631 In Wade in the Water, Tracy K. Smith boldly ties America’s contemporary moment both to our nation’s fraught founding history and to a sense of the spirit, the everlasting. These are poems of sliding scale: some capture a flicker of song or memory; some collage an array of documents and voices; and some push past the known world into the haunted, the holy. Smith’s signature voice— inquisitive, lyrical, and wry—turns over what it means to be a citizen, a mother, and an artist in a culture arbitrated by wealth, men, and violence. Here, private utterance becomes part of a larger choral arrangement as the collection widens to include erasures of the Declaration of Independence and correspondence between slave owners, a found poem composed of evidence of corporate pollution and accounts of near-death experiences, a sequence of letters written by African Americans enlisted in the Civil War, and the survivors’ reports of recent immigrants and refugees.
