If you think the literary world is a circus, take a walk in MFA in Writing alumnus Rick Wallenda’s shoes. 
(Although that walk might end up being on a high wire…literally!) We have so many fascinating alumni/ae at VCFA and we are proud to include among them Rick Wallenda, a writer and member of the World Famous Wallendas. Read a recent news piece about him in the New York Journal News.
"This program awakened the activist spirit in me. I am more aware and involved in making work engaged in a discourse about social issues which affect the earth and its inhabitants.I am a new person. I can never go back to the old way of looking at art or the world again."
