Welcome to Fall Folio, an online literary journal of recent work by the English Department’s Creative Writing students.
All semester, students in Creative Writing courses have been hard at work drafting, workshopping, and revising in the company of their classmates. Given the high level of talent and enthusiasm among these writers, it seemed fitting that we share some of their new works with the community. Students enrolled in a summer or fall 2021 Creative Writing course were invited to submit a piece they were particularly proud of, and after a final round of editing and polishing, those selections are published here. Fall Folio is a testament to the wide range of styles and voices in our program, and includes poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction—work that is by turns risky, thoughtful, surprising, and always engaging.
If you’re a student reading this, I hope Fall Folio inspires you to sign up for a creative writing course in the near future. This academic year, the English Department’s Creative Writing offerings include Introduction to Creative Writing, Narrative Nonfiction, Reading and Writing Poems, Intermediate Poetry Writing, Writing the Short Story, and Seminar in Fiction. We’d love to have you join us. In the meantime, happy reading!
