This afternoon I received an email from Purdue:
Farren -
The Creative Writing Admissions Committee would like a brief response to the following questions: Whose work do you admire? What collections of poetry and/or works of fiction read in the last year have been important to you, and why?
Please send this to me via email.
I re-checked the website to make sure I hadn’t missed out on a basic application requirement, but it’s not there. So this is…good news, obviously, no?
