It was at the theatre and at Carnegie Hall that Paul really lived...The moment he inhaled the gassy, painty, dusty odour behind the scenes, he breathed like a prisoner set free, and felt within him the possibility of doing or saying splendid, brilliant, poetic things.”

Resources
Graduate students in the writing program are, in many ways, like a writers’ colony. Both within and outside of the classroom, our students tend to create a close and supportive community. In addition to the support that our students provide one another, the Department, the School of Arts and Sciences, and the University of Pittsburgh offer an extensive array of academic, professional, and social opportunities for graduate students and their families.
