New Project: MFA in poetry at UNO Creative Writing Workshop

8/1/2022

 
After decades of quietly writing poems as an unexamined background process, Julie Elise Landry applied to the University of New Orleans Creative Writing Workshop in October 2021. She was accepted into the Master of Fine Arts Poetry program five months later and begins her first semester in Fall 2022.

"After years of aiming for excellence in my prose, I need to accord the same attention to my poetry," said Landry. "I want to write the sorts of poems that I love: ones that tell meaningful stories and sharpen subtle points, that change the rhythms of our breath, that feel like songs pulled whole, sublime, immutable from the depths of the earth. I aspire to learn and to grow in this arena."

Landry will graduate no sooner than Spring 2025; her journey through the three-year program may take longer, however, given that she will remain a full-time employee while she studies and writes.

The newly self-proclaimed poet hopes to see you at open mic poetry readings in the near future.
