can empathize so much with this as a fellow first-gen student!! iāve had the privilege of being guided by and studying under poets who have had wonderful things happen to them in their careers (guggenheim and macarthur fellowships, an inaugural poet) and i was given a lot of really great guidance and reality checks with my expectations. but one of the biggest things they emphasized was that whether i got in or not, i was still a poet, a writer, and someone still worthy of these labels even if no school within the application cycle saw it. they shared countless stories of friends, students, and fellow writers who it didnāt work out for at the beginning, but despite initial rejections, made it out the other end better than they couldāve imagined. i like to doom-spiral in my head a lot, and my past yearās applying just validated those thoughts. but, iāve come to a place where even if my single waitlist doesnāt pan out (iāll definitely be a little devastated) but iāll know that if anything, i had the privilege to even apply and dream about one day be writing for a living. -

Kind of random, but still literary! Since Miami has been mentioned, and its 305 day (our area code, itās a big celebration), I must share about our city! Aside from what you all may have heard about this city (and the state it resides in), itās an awesome literary city! If you ever want to visit, we have an amazing poetry festival (O,Miami) every April (national poetry month) that āaims to have every person in Miami-Dade County encounter a poem during the month of April.ā (Iāve seen Kaveh Akbar, Paige Lewis, and Hanif Abdurraqib here!) They do a lot of great community work! Then in November, we have a really well rounded, week long book fair. Both events get incredible writers into the city (in previous years Iāve seen poets like Ross Gay, Major Jackson, Sam Sax, Chen Chen, Mahogany L. Browne, Nicole Sealey, Sandra Cisneros [got to interview her!!!], Fatimah Asghar)! And finally: our local, independent bookstoreāBooks & Books, just recently started a literary foundation to help continue its community building and help fight against a lot of the book bans and restrictive legislation weāre facing in the state! Okay, sorry for my ramble, but I do love this city, and hope you all can come one day and visit (maybe during these special events)! -

I didnāt go to UM, but I did go to FIU for undergrad and most all the CRW professors are friends. Iāve heard great things about their program so fingers crossed for you!! If you want any info about Miami, or South Florida, let me knowāI was born and raised here! -

a walk in the woods would be so nice. iād go to the beach and read, but since its the weekend, itāll be crowded. because of my poetry fried brain, i actually have been brainstorming and writing fiction for the first time since undergrad workshops. i think iāll spend this weekend holed away and seeing where it could go. itāll be better than doomscrolling and anxiously mulling over my what-could-have-been soft rejections. -

curiosity: have we found out why indiana has no reported acceptances, only waitlist and rejections? is it like a thing where, as people drop out of the waitlist, theyāll then send out acceptances? have i missed something? -

omg yes please! i neeeeeed more queer recs. i love my friends but everything is very het. i read my first romance at the beginning of jan, and now iām on my eighth book of the year which is wild for me because iāve been a devoted poetry + creative nonfiction reader for the past few years. i read my first book ever with explicit neurodivergent rep and it was very exciting. would you be willing to share your goodreads? š«£ i was forced to make one and now i love reading some of the unhinged reviews people leave LOL -

i love seeing the way weāve all coped with the anxiety. iām still here, waiting in the liminal space for the rest of my apps. iām expecting a rejection soon from umass amherst based on the draft sheet. everyone seems to have gone towards more serious fiction and i have shut my brain off and dived into romance for the first time LOL will definitely be adding all your recommendations to my tbr list -
