An important note on the ethics of the use of our program's Vimeo library
You are all free to use our Vimeo library as our students. However, please DO NOT share these links with friends, online on social media, in classes you may teach elsewhere, or in other places. This material is for your private educational use ONLY as students of our MFA program. It's not for distribution of any kind.
Many of our guest speakers and faculty expressly have not given permission to have their materials shared beyond their live sessions and beyond the MFA classroom supervised by our MFA faculty within the residency course. Quite a few of our writers have asked for contracts or have expressed clearly via email that they don't want their material shared beyond the classroom to guarantee this privacy. Writers visiting us may share or read new work, which they don't want to have end up in unforeseen places, which might count as "publication" without their knowledge. They also required one-time speaker fees; not fees that allow us to publicly share their work long-term. Our students and event visitors, including all of you, may also not want to have your words and questions or sharings be distributed beyond the classroom as you read out loud your vulnerable freewrites and prompts in the workshop sessions. For this reason, it's also important to secure the privacy of these events.
In short: All distribution of any material from this course has to go through me to guarantee the privacy and rights of our visiting authors and also of you as our students as you share in the classroom. If you have any question, please talk to me. I know the back stories on each guest and am managing this situation ethically toward our guests in a manner that benefits all of you as our students.
Thank you so much for your conscientiousness!
Feel free to contact me at 641-451-4854 or soulbone@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Below the evening session: a reading with Robin Hemley and Susanne Paola. The evening started with about 10 min. of Zoom bombing, so forgive the abrupt start of this taping. The speakers admirably recovered!
