Each year, the Creative Writing Program welcomes a distinguished poet to teach a Stanford writing seminar to undergraduates. These unique classes are kept small--limited to no more than 15 students--and they focus on a subject of the writer’s expertise and choosing. The writer also holds a public reading and discussion.
For dates, times, and locations of their scheduled readings, visit our Events page. These seminars are made possible with the generous support of Lawrence and Nancy Mohr.
Enrollment in the Winter Quarter course is through the Course Preference Form.
