VCFA Alumna Rachel Langille's Work to be Part of Best New Poets 2010

Vermont College of Fine Arts MFA in Writing alumna Rachel Langille's poem "Telescope" (which she wrote while at VCFA) has been chosen by Claudia Emerson for inclusion in the anthology Best New Poets 2010, scheduled to be published in October by University of Virginia Press. 

In addition she received an artist grant to do a one-month residency at Vermont Studio Center during August 2011.

Points of View

Nancy Bo Flood
MFA WC&YA Alumna

"During each semester the word that echoed in my head was 'relentless', relentless learning with all parts of my brain, the creative and the analytical, the literary and the lyrical. And relentless reading, thinking, and writing. The third part was relentless positive encouragement and support to risk writing way beyond the envelope."
