Description

THE SERIESUC Irvine’s MFA Programs in Writing admit just six fiction writers & six poets per year out of 1000+ applicants. Chosen for both their strong voices & commitment to developing their work in an intensive, intimate creative space, writers are given three funded years to produce a book-length project . The MFA Reading Series (a.k.a. Antics!) is a crucial part of the Programs in Writing, an opportunity for the writers to share their work with the larger community. Every reading features two poets and two fiction writers currently enrolled in the program, each of whom reads for around fifteen minutes, providing a sampling of their work.
