MFAngle

A podcast hosted by creative writing MFA students for MFA applicants, students, lovers of literature, and more. Our voices are from women of color, which makes us attuned to the ways in which our marginalized identities shape our experiences in academia. We are all first or second years in our MFA, so we got fresh takes. We are here to pass on the chisme, the good and the bad, starting from the application process to workshop horror stories.

    Gap Years

    Way back in pre-COVID times, MFAngle chatted with poets Taylor Portela and Sonya Lara about their experiences with gap years. Do you need to take a gap year before entering a creative writing MFA? Do you need experience out in the "real world"?  This episode was inspired by Sonya and Taylor's blog post for the minnesota review blog.  Follow us on Twitter and Instagram at @MFAnglePodcast A full transcript of this episode is available here.
