Student Comments on Stonecoast

 

 

 

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

 

“This was my first residency, and I loved the variety of topics in classes and panels, the supportive yet honest tone of my workshops.  As a poet, I feel stimulated by the presence of so many genres. What a warm atmosphere!”

“. . .a high level of discourse on the substance and crafting of writing, with a gifted and articulate faculty willing to interact with students in a helpfully insightful manner. . . .

“. . . an energetic, passionate, open dialogue between writers of all levels and in all disciplines, interacting across “boundaries,” as if there were no boundaries.”

 

COMMUNITY


”The focus and commitment are palpable—the interactions are valuable and productive—I’m stunned at the levels of talent, intellect & openness to dialogue. . .

Inspiring, surprising, nurturing. . . The sense of community, which I’m sure you hear about in every evaluation, really is amazing, even for someone who isn’t especially outgoing.

Amazing—the emphasis on flexibility and personal voice allow the students to become their own favorite writer.  The atmosphere is accepting and warm without being soft.
