in Writing program, you collaborate with faculty who are as distin-
guished in their teaching as well as on the page. Their collective achieve-
ment is seen in the shelves and reflected in uncountable literary honors. It is with this core group of faculty-practitioners that you craft bold new
works of fiction, nonfiction, and/or poetry resulting from
your discoveries. At Bennington students are as dedicated to the practice of reading as they are to the art writing, which is a practice that embodies our
sense of mission: to connect each student with much of the best that has been done, while keeping the focus trained on his or her own emerging work.
