NDNU Graduate English

NDNU Graduate English A place for faculty, current & prospective students, alumni, & friends of the NDNU Master of Arts in English program to share ideas, news, & information.

The Master of Arts in English Program at Notre Dame de Namur University offers two emphases: creative writing and literature. Our students’ awareness of every aspect of literature and writing is enhanced by our analytical, theoretical and practical approaches to literary texts. Our curriculum is unique in that core courses in literary theory and linguistics are required in addition to genre course

s in lyric, drama and narrative. Depending on the student’s choice of emphasis, the program may include a research thesis or a creative writing project as the culminating experience. NDNU’s graduate English students come from a variety of backgrounds and professions. It is possible for the student to complete the NDNU program in as little as two years or as long as seven years, depending on how many courses are taken in the Fall, Spring and Summer semesters.

My new book of poetry, Left at the Ruin, comes out on August 8!
But if you can’t wait, you can pre-order now at the link below.

I like to joke that I alternate a book about death, then a book about s*x. The end of my parents’ lives shaped my last book, so…you do the math.

“These poems, these words, they are quiet fires every one. ‘All of my ages swarm / against the mismatch of time.’ We may know that sensibility ourselves intellectually, but in these poems we are made to truly feel it.”—Alberto Rios

Thank you Terrapin Books!
