Creative Writing Blog

This past year our MFAs have published their writing, worked on projects with English department faculty, and contributed to social justice initiatives in their communities. We’re so proud of everything they’ve accomplished. Learn more about three current MFAs below.

On January 28th nationally renowned author Crystal Wilkinson gave a reading and book signing in the Milano Reading room of the Downtown Library.

Bryce Berkowitz, a WVU MFA alum, recently won the 42 Miles press Poetry Award for his manuscript: Bermuda Ferris Wheel

We caught up with a few MFA alumni: Rebecca Thomas, Connie Pan, and Shane Stricker. Check out what they’ve been up to since graduating from the program in 2013.

We had our last MFA@123 of the semester. The readings, libations, and comradery warmed us up on a cold November night.

Last week the Humanities Center welcomed nationally-renowned writer Silas House to discuss his writing process and new book Southernmost. 

We caught up with a few of our recent MFA alumni: Kelsey, Andrea, and Megan. Since graduating in 2017, they have been busy publishing, teaching, and traveling to new places. 

Fresh after fall break, the writers gathered for our monthly MFA@123 event.

On Monday, September 30th, Megan read from her acclaimed collection The Wrong Way to Save Your Life in the Milano Reading room of the WVU Downtown Library.
