The University of Arizona offers a rigorous, small, fully-funded three-year MFA program in creative nonfiction, fiction, and poetry, with opportunities for interdisciplinary study and work with many literary magazines, small presses, and community organizations. It is also the home of Sonora Review, one of the oldest student-run literary journals in the country, and the international treasure of the University of Arizona Poetry Center. We offer workshops and craft classes taught by world-class faculty including Kate Bernheimer, Susan Briante, Chris Cokinos, Alison Hawthorne Deming, Bojan Louis, Farid Matuk, Ander Monson, Manuel Muñoz, Aurelie Sheehan, and Johanna Skibsrud, among others.
The Arizona MFA Look Book is published every two years as a presentation of the best work by our graduating and recently graduated students. This is our 2020 edition. Enjoy. If you’d like to be in contact with any of these writers, email the program and we’ll be happy to connect you to them.
