It's been so long since we graduated from our MFA program, that the community-feel that we once had feels lost. For a moment, you gave it back to me. Thanks, dude. Hope you're doing well in Brooklyn. Keep on with the writing. Nice blog, Gordon! It’s been so long since we graduated from our MFA program, that the community-feel that we once had feels lost. For a moment, you gave it back to me.

I would love to post it on the blog (it's definitely an After the MFA material), but I lost your email. Can you drop me a line? - Armand_i@yahoo.com Gordon-

If I were smart enough to figure out how to make a links sidebar with Movable Type, your blog would there. I'm always curious about MFA's and MFA programs. About their value. I'm interested in trying to get into a program, (was rejected by Southwest Texas State, my alma mater) but at the same time don't know whether it'd be worthwhile. I'm also curious about the selection process. I've had some pretty vague answers from MFA program directors about why they select one person over another. It really seems awfully subjective and discouraging, worse than submitting to a journal or magazine and getting a story rejected, in some ways. Gordon. Thanks for your comment.
