Are you an English major with a Creative Writing Concentration? ________
Answer the following questions on a separate sheet, typed:
1) List the other Creative Writing workshops you have completed at Oberlin
(please include terms and instructor’s names):
2) If you have completed one or more workshops, please answer the following:
a) Have you taken any advanced projects (term, genre)?
b) How many do you plan on taking (term, genre)?
3) Please list, in order of preference, the creative writing courses you are
applying for this semester. If preference is not indicated, we will assume you
have none.
4) What college-level literature courses have you taken at Oberlin (and
elsewhere)?
5) Are there compelling reasons you need to take this course this semester?
6) What poets do you particularly like, and why?
Additional (numbered) pages should be used for your answers and for your writing samples,
which should be 8-10 pages of poetry (at least 5 poems). Attach all materials to this form. We
must receive your materials by Friday, June 8, 2007 in the CRWR Office (Rice 13). Submit
applications early: Do not count on priority mail, overnight mail, or FedEx, and do NOT submit
by e-mail or fax.
Due to the large number of applicants, we regret that we are unable to notify all those who have
not been accepted into a workshop. We recommend that everyone register for the course they
would take if they don’t get into this workshop; if you do get in, it’s easier to drop the course
than to scramble for a seat somewhere at the last minute.
