While the series will occasionally feature an outstanding anthology, the majority of the books will be selected through two competitions, each of which will run biennially: a national poetry prize for a full-length book, an award open to all poets publishing in English; and the Converse MFA series, open to students or alumni of the Converse Low Residency MFA.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.converse.edu\/program\/master-of-fine-arts-mfa\/?utm_source=redirect&amp;utm_medium=print&amp;utm_campaign=GRadmission&amp;utm_content=MFA\">MFA in Creative Writing<\/a> at Converse is a two-year, low-residency program designed for serious, independent writers seeking advanced instruction in poetry, fiction, young adult fiction, creative nonfiction, and environmental writing through a non-traditional course of graduate study.
