I earned my Bachelor of Arts in May 2004 and since then Ive wanted only to return to the classroom. I miss the stimulating discussions with peers who share my interests in literature, writing and critical thought.
Temples MA is exciting because it offers the rare program in which literature and critical writing are balanced with creative writing. Knowing diverse literatures is necessary to perfecting my own, and I want this creative side of academia to be my career to blend creative practice and theory while enriching my knowledge of literature.
