A very warm welcome from the Creative Writing Program of Princeton University.

If you're already enrolled at Princeton, I'd like to encourage you to join one of our classes and try your hand at writing a poem or short story, or translating a sonnet by that French poet with whom you've never quite got to grips. Please don't feel that there's no place for you here if you're not majoring in English or Comparative Literature. Engineers, chemists, mathematicians and microbiologists are all welcome.

If you're considering attending Princeton, you should know that our undergraduate program is one of the finest in the world, affording you an opportunity to work closely with some of the most celebrated poets and novelists of our time.

If you're a member of the wider community, with an interest in what's happening in contemporary writing, I hope you'll join us at one of our upcoming events, many of which take place on Wednesday afternoons in the James M. Stewart ’32 Theater.

We look forward to seeing you at the Lewis Center for the Arts.
