The Writer’s Life Colloquium is a one-credit course that formalizes the engagement of MFA in Creative Writing students with the literary culture of New York and beyond. Aside from three meetings during the semester, the course is a self-designed exploration of contemporary literature and literary culture that uses as its framework the readings, events, and master classes programmed by the Creative Writing Program. Students create an individual plan for the year, curating a list of readings, events, craft and professional development sessions, and other activities with the aim to take practical steps toward longer-term professional and artistic goals. Sessions of the Writer's Life, along with many of the Writer's Life events and the Saturday sessions, will be held in a designated room. The course offers a curricular structure to the offerings of the Creative Writing Department, the School of Public Engagement, the University as a whole, and New York City.
