Hi All:
Has anyone else applied for a Fulbright full grant to Italy? I applied at large to Sicily in the category of creative writing. My proposal would focus on community-based research/oral histories/documentation of the last generation of sulfur miners in Valguarnera (Enna), many of whom worked in the mines as children. I plan to incorporate this research into a novel I'm writing. I hold an MFA from NYU and am conversational in Italian. I also currently study Sicilian. This wait is certainly killing me. Two more months....
