The MFA Program at San José State trains versatile writers. Every graduate develops expertise in at least two genres, choosing primary and secondary concentrations in fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, or scriptwriting. This workshop is an introduction to SJSU’s unique cross-genre approach. Students will begin by writing a short piece of fiction or creative nonfiction in response to prompts by faculty members Keenan Norris and Brook McClurg. After some feedback and discussion, students will then have the opportunity to adapt their prose composition into a work of drama or poetry under the direction of faculty members Matthew Spangler and J. Michael Martinez. Students emerge with a new perspective on literary forms—and proof that, like our faculty, they can write across genres.
