Limited Capacity filling up
Four poets, current students and alum, discuss their experiences writing poems and ordering them into full-length collections in Connecticut's only full-residency M.F.A. program at Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU). Their work covers a variety of themes and subjects ranging from foster care and homelessness, shifting maternal voice, manhood and body issues, to coming-of-age out of religious faith into rationalism.

Join them and share your experiences in M.F.A. programs and with your own book development process.
