University of Florida Program in Creative Writing
Program Description
We are one of the oldest writing programs, begun in 1948 by Andrew Lytle, who later edited the Sewanee Review. We require an equal interest in writing and in reading literature. Criticism in the writing workshop here attempts to fulfill the design of a poem or a story on its own terms.
Our aim is to cultivate good writers. When we are successful, you leave here capable of writing a better poem or story or novel than you might have written had you not come here. If we effect this bettering, we do so by admitting that the question Can writing be taught? is best answered Yes and No. Certain aspects of it can be taught, others cannot.
