To be perfectly honest, I’d probably have ignored this piece by Seth Abramson about the top 25 Underrated Creative Writing programs if my partner Amy and several Facebook friends hadn’t pointed it out to me for this entry:
“Florida Atlantic University. A dark horse among dark horses.”
I’m not really sure what that means, and neither, it seems, do any of my Florida Atlantic friends. (Disclosure: I teach at Florida Atlantic, though not in the MFA program.) But I’m glad to see that the program is getting a little love(?) and attention. And to those who would consider applying here, let me clear one thing up. You are not required to live in Boca Raton, so don’t let that scare you off.
