Associate Faculty and Past Faculty in Residence
Additional visiting writers participate during the residency periods, conducting lectures, readings, and discussions which look to locate the sources in literature from which writers discover, extend, and transform their traditions. These writer/lecturers change each residency. For instance, Barry Hannah has lectured on the writers of Oxford, MS; Francine Prose on the short fiction of Leonard Michaels; Robert Creeley on the poetry of Hart Crane and Charles Olson; Lucie Brock-Broido on first books of poetry; Sue Miller on Chekhov and Flannery O’Connor; Vivian Gornick on essay writers; Richard Howard on translation; E. Ethelbert Miller on black literature; Coleman Barks on the ecstatic tradition in literature; Robert Polito on the work of Jim Thompson and Frank Bidart; Mac Wellman on new plays; Agha Shahid Ali on the ghazal form and the poetry of T.S. Eliot; Ilan Stavans on Edmund Wilson; Karen Finley on the traditions of performance art; Lynn Emmanuel on the poetic sequence and on nature writers Barry Lopez, John McPhee, and Annie Dillard; Tom Wicker on Ford Madox Ford’s The Good Soldier as “the perfect novel”; and so on.
