Out of the Stacks and onto the Market: The MFA Poetry Thesis Gets Serious, and Faculty Members React. Erika Meitner, Beth Ann Fennelly, Carmen Giménez Smith, Mary Biddinger, Alan Michael Parker
Autobiographical treatises, project books, greatest hits of the workshop--MFA faculty (who moonlight as press editors and book-contest judges) discuss pedagogical issues on advising MFA poets at the culmination of the degree. What makes for ideal thesis advising? Is an MFA thesis meant to be a book? We will explore the range of ways to shape a first collection, transcend conventions and clichés, and best advise students on balancing their development as poets with their professional goals.

The Evolution of the MFA: The 21st Century Student. Erika Meitner, Julie Carr, Mary Biddinger, Eric Morris, Raina Fields, Serena Chopra
Today's MFA students are a slightly different (and seemingly more professionalized) species of writer. Three younger-generation MFA faculty members and three of their MFA students discuss the changing nature of MFA students and the MFA degree itself. Topics include: networking (on-line and off), publishing, book-projects-as-theses, and the national ethos of the MFA. How might we recognize and address the fast-changing shape of the field on a wider national and pedagogical level, across programs?
