Stegner Fellowship
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Stegner Fellowship program is a two-year creative writing fellowship at Stanford University. Ten fellowships are awarded every year, five in fiction and five in poetry. The recipients do not need a degree to receive the fellowships, though the majority of Fellows do have degrees in Creative Writing.
The current Poetry faculty for the program consists of Eavan Boland, Kenneth Fields and W. S. DiPiero. The current Fiction faculty for the program consists of Elizabeth Tallent, Tobias Wolff, and John L'Heureux. Other notable writers often come as guest instructors for a quarter as part of other endowed lectureships. Recent visiting writers include Heather McHugh, Nobel Laureate John Maxwell Coetzee, Bharati Mukherjee, and Thom Gunn just before his death in 2004.
