"When Walt Whitman, a real fan of know-how, said, "To have great poets, there must be great audiences too," he was looking the world in the face: artists and audiences have merged, and one of the first stops on their way to school is the MFA Handbook: it shows the huge range of aesthetic choices open to any young writer who wants to try to become a better writer, a better reader" - Tom Sleigh, Director of the Hunter College MFA
