Undergraduate Announcement 2023 - 2024
Creative writing, general information, program offerings:, program offerings.
The Program in Creative Writing , part of the Lewis Center for the Arts, with a minor in creative writing, like our present certificate students, will encounter a rigorous framework of courses. These courses are designed, first and foremost, to teach the students how to read like a writer, thoughtfully, artistically, curiously, with an open mind attuned to the nuances of any human situation. This skill is not only for students who plan to be professional writers, but most important, this is a skill we believe to be crucial for all students. The many courses offered by the creative writing department teach students how to structure a narrative and write it well; how to use lived experience in the compressed linguistic construct of a poem so that it provides a meaningful experience for a reader; how to think about, and undertake, the translation of a literary work into another literary work in another language; how to write and adapt literary narratives for a variety of screen media.
Goals for Student Learning
• The Art of Reading
A sophisticated reader of literature is one who reads with a discerning but not judgmental mind. Teaching the art of reading to our students is one of the most effective ways to prepare them to navigate a murky, complex and increasingly more contentious world.
• The Art of Writing
Whether the students work in fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction or screenwriting, our goal is to teach students to write clearly and dynamically, to communicate complex ideas, and to distill experience into arts.
• The Art of Exploration
We encourage our students to expand their horizons by learning new approaches and trying new genres, whether a poet trying out digital storytelling, or a prose writer creating a novel in verse. We encourage our students to bring their writings out to the world and to bring the world into their writing.
• Public Service and Global Citizenship
A writer in today’s world is not a hermit writing from the top of a tower. Our minor program aims to promote the values inherent in the University’s unofficial motto, “In the Nation’s Service and the Service of Humanity,” to draw from the model of Toni Morrison, and to cultivate a younger generation of writers who will be engaging with the public thoughtfully and meaningfully.
Prerequisites
For the minor program, our goal is to guide students through a course of study that begins with introductory courses, and then combines courses at advanced levels with cross-listed and approved courses offered by other units. The minor in creative writing includes a total of five courses, three of which must be housed in creative writing, and two which may be cross-listed with creative writing. To be eligible to apply for the minor, students must have taken the five courses as described below by the end of their junior year. Senior year is focused on development of students' independent work.
As an example of a pathway through the minor, students typically enroll in two to three 200-level courses during their first and second years at Princeton. These include intro to fiction writing, intro to poetry, intro to translation and intro to screenwriting. Students who have taken two 200-level courses are allowed to register for 300- and 400-level courses, including advanced fiction writing, advanced poetry writing, advanced translation and advanced screenwriting.
Admission to the Program
In the spring semester of junior year, students apply to be admitted to the creative writing program for independent work during their senior year.
Program of Study
Students admitted to the minor program will have one year of one-on-one thesis work with an established poet or prose writer. This independent work includes weekly or biweekly conferences with the thesis advisers for two semesters. Under the direction of the thesis advisers, the students will produce a full-length collection of poetry, a collection of short stories or a finished novel manuscript. Each final thesis is read by another writer, who provides a thoughtful and detailed commentary, which gives a snapshot of the student’s career and offers future direction. This independent thesis work has long been a treasured tradition of the creative writing program, and we believe that the conversion to the minor program will more accurately reflect the amount of work both the students and the advisers have put in during their senior year. Apart from independent work, the students will also participate in two public readings — a reading of their work-in-progress with their peers alongside a published writer, and a thesis reading, a celebration of their final theses. An unofficial monthly lunch meeting for the thesis cohort, directed by an appointed faculty member, will serve as a support group.

Suggested artists
Suggested countries, suggested cities, princeton arts fellowships and the hodder fellowship 2022–24 at lewis center for the arts.
The Lewis Center for the Arts, in collaboration with other University departments, offers two artist fellowship opportunities. Both are designed to support artists, in all artistic disciplines, who demonstrate great promise.
The current application cycle is open now through Monday, September 13, 2022, at 11:59 p.m. ET.
Princeton Arts Fellowships , funded in part by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation , David E. Kelley Society of Fellows in the Arts, and the Maurice R. Greenberg Scholarship Fund, will be awarded to artists whose achievements have been recognized as demonstrating extraordinary promise in any area of artistic practice and teaching. Applicants should be early career composers, conductors, musicians, choreographers, visual artists, filmmakers, poets, novelists, playwrights, designers, directors and performance artists–this list is not meant to be exhaustive–who would find it beneficial to spend two years teaching and working in an artistically vibrant university community.
Princeton Arts Fellows spend two consecutive academic years (September 1-July 1) at Princeton University and formal teaching is expected. The normal work assignment will be to teach one course each semester subject to approval by the Dean of the Faculty, but fellows may be asked to take on an artistic assignment in lieu of a class, such as directing a play or creating a dance with students. Although the teaching load is light, our expectation is that Fellows will be full and active members of our community, committed to frequent and engaged interactions with students during the academic year.
An $88,000 a year stipend is provided. Fellowships are not intended to fund work leading to an advanced degree. One need not be a U.S. citizen to apply. Holders of Ph.D. degrees from Princeton are not eligible to apply.
Online application Princeton Arts Fellowships
The Hodder Fellowship will be given to artists and writers of exceptional promise to pursue independent projects at Princeton University during the academic year. Potential Hodder Fellows are composers, choreographers, performance artists, visual artists, writers, translators, or other kinds of artists or humanists who have “much more than ordinary intellectual and literary gifts”; they are selected more “for promise than for performance.” Given the strength of the applicant pool, most successful Fellows have published a first book or have similar achievements in their own fields; the Hodder is designed to provide Fellows with the “studious leisure” to undertake significant new work.
Hodder Fellows spend an academic year at Princeton, but no formal teaching is involved. An $88,000 stipend is provided for this 10-month appointment as a Visiting Fellow. Fellowships are not intended to fund work leading to an advanced degree. One need not be a U.S. citizen to apply.

On the campus special promise: early-career artists, humanists enjoy a year to create as hodder fellows.
Artists at Princeton are nothing new, but each year one group stands out: the five Hodder Fellows, sponsored by the Lewis Center for the Arts.
If you’ve noticed a lanky, bearded man sketching African American workers on campus, you’ve probably seen Mario Moore, one of the current Hodder Fellows. Said Moore, a painter who also sculpts, “I’m working on a series of paintings, black men working blue-collar jobs, like in the dining hall, but I hope to expand to off campus.” Moore approaches his subjects and chats with them, then sketches his ideas before starting to paint. “The Hodder has given me space and time,” he said. “I have a studio where I can make sculpture and larger work than I could in my New York City apartment.”
The fellowship was first awarded to the poet, critic, and Princeton faculty member R.P. Blackmur in 1944. The award came from a bequest by Mary Mackall (Mamie) Gwinn, an English professor at Bryn Mawr who married Alfred Hodder, another Bryn Mawr professor. Mary Hodder lived her last years in Princeton.
Over the years, the ranks of the Hodder fellows have included the poet John Berryman (1950), the historian Peter Gay (1955), and novelist and 2008 MacArthur Fellow Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (2005) — whose 2013 novel Americanah opens with a scene in Princeton. Over the past couple of decades, the number of annual fellows increased from one to five, and the eligible fields have expanded to visual and performing arts.
The current year’s Hodder Fellows include the playwrights Martyna Majok and Lauren Yee, the choreographer Okwui Okpokwasili, and the poet Jacob Shores-Argüello. Shortly after winning a Hodder, Majok, who had earned attention as the author of gritty plays like Ironboun d and Queens, won the Pulitzer Prize in drama for her play Cost of Living. “For the Hodder, I’m writing the book and lyrics for an original musical about Chernobyl,” she explained. “It’s about the search for home: about re-making your life, re-settling, and returning. It’s a project that’s been close to my heart for almost a decade.” Okpokwasili, who described her recent work as based on protest practices of women in southeast Nigeria in the early 20th century, received a 2018 MacArthur fellowship. “My collaborator and I are building a platform for the creation of an improvisational public song,” she said.
Judges for the fellowship are the heads of the programs at the Lewis Center — dance, musical theater, and creative writing — as well as the chair of the music department.
Michael Cadden, the chair of the Lewis Center, said the judges “look at work that’s already been done and recognized, evidence that you’re on the way to an important career.” The rewards are substantial, from financial independence for a year to the career boost that winning a Hodder gives. The stipend these days hovers around $82,000, about the pay of an assistant professor at Princeton, but with no teaching duties or even a residency requirement.
The judges also try to determine how valuable Princeton’s resources would be for the applicants, who can take advantage of anything from studio and performance space to a chance to meet other arts professionals.
“One of the great secret benefits of the Hodder is the time you get to spend with Princeton’s creative-writing faculty,” said Whitney Terrell ’91, a writer and Hodder Fellow in 2008–09. Terrell, a graduate of the creative-writing program, enjoyed the chance to see his former professors, such as Joyce Carol Oates, James Richardson ’71, and John McPhee ’53, while developing relationships with other faculty that have continued after his fellowship year.
In December the selection of next year’s fellows was announced: visual artist Ryan Gander, choreographer Will Rawls, novelist Kaitlyn Greenidge, poet Nicole Sealey, and playwright Hansol Jung.
Gander, whose art merges painting and sculpture and writing, calls the subject of his work “Loose Associations” — in books and performative lectures, as well as documents and objects. Confined to a wheelchair, he has also made art of his condition, presenting audiences with images of disability.
Rawls says he confronts “historical notions of blackness and the rules of standard English to craft choreography that challenges a performer’s apparent social roles”: In Uncle Rebus, commissioned for New York City’s High Line Art, dancers arranged letters to spell out selections from Br’er Rabbit Tales.
Greenidge’s debut novel, We Love You, Charlie Freeman, was one of The New York Times Critics’ Top Books of 2016, and Sealey’s poetry collection Ordinary Beast was a finalist for the 2018 PEN Open Book Award and the 2018 Hurston/Wright Legacy Award. Jung, whose plays include Cardboard Piano and Among the Dead, has also translated more than 30 musicals into Korean.
Not surprisingly, the competition for the fellowships is stiff. “We had 1,100 applications this year,” Cadden said. “It’s a good gig.”

Same Bed Different Dreams: Award-winning Ed Park on writing and teaching speculative fiction

“I went up. I probably should have prepared a speech … I think I started by saying, ‘I never win anything,’ to express my surprise,” recalled Ed Park, a Lecturer in Creative Writing at the Lewis Center for the Arts.
This spring, Park was named one of five finalists for the 2023 Los Angeles Times Book Prize in fiction for his novel “Same Bed Different Dreams.” The prize is presented annually for exceptional literary works published within the last year. The finalists of the 44th-annual Book Prizes were recognized at a ceremony at the University of Southern California’s Bovard Auditorium.
Each winning author gave a brief acceptance speech. Fiction was last, meaning Park and his family waited all night.
Then, in the final moments of the ceremony, Same Bed Different Dreams was announced.
“To my surprise, I won,” Park said, describing it as a “real thrill.”
A month later, on a fateful Monday in May, Columbia University revealed the Pulitzer Prize in fiction .
“I was preparing for my class, but tuned in [to the Pulitzer ceremony] a bit after 3:00 p.m. Fiction was the last category announced, and to my delight, Same Bed Different Dreams was named as one of the three finalists! … What a thrill!” Park wrote in a blog post on the book review site Goodreads.
Park has brought his literary work and success to the academic sphere, teaching Princeton students the ins and outs of creative writing. He joined Princeton’s creative writing faculty in Fall 2023 following careers in journalism and publishing. His first course at Princeton was a section of CWR 203: Introductory Fiction, that focused on speculative fiction. For the Fall 2024 semester, the course is listed separately as CWR 213: Writing Speculative Fiction.
It seemed fitting that Park heard the announcement while preparing for a class. Since “Same Bed Different Dreams” was published last November, in the middle of the semester, Park was juggling the demands of being an author with his teaching. His experiences as an author, from editorial decisions and book tours, made their way into the classroom.
“What was cool is that we got the inside scoop into how the cover was made, and the different versions of it,” Jessica Wang ’26, who took Park’s class last fall, told the ‘Prince.’ “He brought a bunch [of designs] to class … He showed us the inside process of how they brainstormed the cover, what he was thinking, what the publishers were thinking.”
The novel draws on Park’s life-long interest in Korea as a Korean American. It imagines an alternate history of Korea in which the Korean Provisional Government (KPG) — an institution formed in 1919 during Japan’s occupation of Korea and primarily composed of Korean expatriates — continues in secrecy rather than dissolving after WWII. The plot traces the KPG’s goal to reunify North and South Korea and the transition from Korea’s tragic history into a speculative, tech-dominated future.
“Same Bed Different Dreams” contains multiple narratives that are woven together throughout the novel’s 500-plus pages. Park explained that the book’s different sections and writing styles reflect its title. He said he read the expression “same bed, different dreams” in an email from his father over twenty years ago.
“That phrase was so evocative because it’s just four words, and it encapsulates so much. Like no matter how close you are to a person, you don’t know what they’re thinking, right? A family member, spouse, friend — they could have a completely different sense of things,” Park said. “I thought it was really profound and just very elegantly put. So, I always wanted to use it as a title for something.”
The novel explores this idea between both individuals and nations as it follows various members of the Korean diaspora through different moments in Korean history — both imagined and real. It also includes many historical Korean figures, such as Syngman Rhee, South Korea’s first president and a Princeton graduate .
“There’s a [married] couple in the book,” Park said, “But this very couple — you can think of each of them having different ambitions, dreams, aims. Then on the political or geographical level, Korea was always one country, really for hundreds of years. Thousands of years. And now it’s North and South Korea ... Same bed of Korea, but different dreams.”
“[The book] definitely engages with some speculative stuff,” Park added. “There’s a science fiction writer and video games … It was fun to talk about that and teach some great authors from the science fiction world that I read as a student.”
The topics in Park’s course mirror these elements of his novel. During the course, Park assigned writing prompts involving non-existent technology, time loops, and messages from future selves, pushing students to press the boundaries of their writing skills. He also gave students the freedom to write what interested them most.
“Students handed in really interesting work,” Park said. “I’d never taught a speculative fiction workshop before, so everything’s going [to] be interesting at some level. People are coming up with multiverses, dystopian stuff.”
Park’s experience as the former executive editor of Penguin Press and running his own imprint, Little A, at Amazon allowed him to engage with students’ writing from a professional point of view and give them a taste of the publishing world.
Soloman Khan ’26, a student in the class, said he was grateful for Park’s feedback.
“He always entertained every idea that someone had,” Khan explained. “He would always look at someone’s work as if they’d done the absolute best that they could. And so he was critiquing them at their best, even when they weren’t. … It never felt like you ever had anything to be shy about in his class, which I thought was so interesting. It’s the only class at Princeton that has been like that for me.”
Lulu Pettit ’27, another student in the course, shared similar appreciation for Park’s encouragement.
“I just felt very supported,” she said. “I was a first-semester freshman, and it was my first experience with creative writing at a higher education level. So I liked that I felt really supported, and it was a really welcoming environment.”
Pettit is a contributor to the Prospect at the ‘Prince.’
Inspired by Park’s course, several students set out to read Same Bed Different Dreams . In moving through the novel, they noticed parallels with themes they had learned directly from Park.
“It was cool to read because it reminded me of what we talked about in the class … like writing speculative fiction, and playing with structure and the way you tell the story,” Pettit said.
“One of the things that stands out to me just looking at [the book] is the form, like kind of what he taught us in class. Changing form, thinking about ways to think outside the box,” Wang explained. “That’s stuff he did with this book, and this book is insane. It’s long, and it’s complex and has multiple parts.”
The novel begins with the question, “What is history?” The line is repeated several times throughout the book.
“What is history? I was asking myself [that] as I was writing,” Park said. “Now that the book is done, and the book is out, I can reflect a bit more on it. It seems, in a way, that the book itself was kind of my answer to that question. This is what history is meant to be. It has put all these images and scenes in my head, and it’s driven me to see how they connect, to try to make sense of it. And then write a book, using those figures in those scenes. That’s it.”
Park will publish another book next year, a collection of stories titled An Oral History of Atlantis . The stories will range over Park’s entire writing career and include some speculative pieces.
In addition to writing, Park said he is excited to teach more students. “Especially as our world seems to become more virtual or simulated in some ways, [speculative fiction] is a good way to think through those conditions, dilemmas.”
“If a regular, non-speculative workshop was needed, I could do that. But I like this field. I find it very inspiring … Always when students [can] connect to the material, it is great.”
So far, it seems like students have.
“I really looked forward to that class,” Wang said. “I wish I could take it again. I can’t believe that other people are going [to] get to take it next year.”

Princeton Writing Program
Writing Seminar Faculty
The Princeton Writing Program is a multidisciplinary community of accomplished scholars and teachers. Faculty use their scholarly expertise to develop writing-intensive seminars that teach students advanced techniques of academic inquiry and research.
All program faculty are trained to help students learn how to frame compelling questions and problems, position an argument within an academic debate, substantiate and organize claims, and purposefully integrate a variety of sources. This pedagogical approach lays an early foundation for the more advanced writing projects students undertake later, including the Junior Project and Senior Thesis.
