Hope everyone is holding up well and congratulations to those of you celebrating huge accomplishments! FYI -- Maryland has started notifying via email today per Draft and I saw a poetry acceptance on Gradcafe results as well. Radio silence for me thus far, but the kiss of death portal change as described in previous results years hasn't happened yet either. Fingers crossed!

Anyone have more insight on University of Oregon? Apparently they are accepting five poets (only seen one acceptance on draft -- none on gradcafe unless buried) and then I saw a poetry waitlist on draft as well. Time to let myself down gently or are they known for staggering and waves? Congrats to those who were accepted/waitlisted!

meant to respond to this when I saw it the other day. I read a fantastic article about writer's block in Poets & Writers a while back by Sarah Ruhl. if I saved the magazine, I'll provide, but you might be able to find it online. She basically narrows it down to 12 causes and proposed fixes. It's really sensible and made my feelings towards a dry spell at least calm down.

Jumping in on Boise State fear seemed to be good time to introduce myself. I haven't seen any notifications for Fiction Phase 2 for Ole Miss. I applied for nothing within reach (poetry applicant) at Mississippi, Iowa, Michigan, Northern Michigan, Brown, Boise State, Arizona, Oregon, and Maryland. Thank you for all the entertainment and camraderie while we wait. I have no idea what this process would be like with nothing to look at. Best of luck to everyone!
