Ha Jin, our former student, has published a number of books of poetry and the short story collections Ocean of Words, Under the Red Flag, and The Bridegroom. His novels are In the Pond, Waiting, The Crazed, War Trash, and A Free Life. His most recent publication is a collection of lectures, entitled Writer as Migrant. His newest collection of stories, A Good Fall, is due out in late 2009. He’s been awarded the PEN/Hemingway, PEN/Faulkner (twice), the Flannery O’Connor prize, and the National Book Award.

Rosanna Warren’s books of poetry include Departure, Snow Day, Stained Glass, Each Leaf Shines Separate, and Disappearances. Her other writing includes The Supplicants, a translation Euripides done with Stephen Scully, and Fables of the Self: Studies in Lyric Poetry. She is the recipient of a Pushcart Prize, the May Sarton Prize, from the New England Poetry Club; the Witter Bynner Prize, from the American Academy of Arts and Letters; the Lila Wallace Readers’ Digest Award; and the Lamont Poetry Prize, from the academy of Academy of American Poets.

Allegra Goodman (fiction) is the author of four critically acclaimed and often bestselling novels, Intuition (longlisted for Britain's Orange Prize in March of 2009), Paradise Park, Kaaterskill Falls, and her most recent, The Other Side of The Island. A new novel is due out in 2010, and you can expect to see Intution on the big screen in the near future. In addition to the novels, she has written two collections of stories, The Family Markowitz, and Total Immersion. Her short fiction appears frequently in the New Yorker, and in respected literary journals such as Ploughshares. One such piece was recently selected to appear in the Best American Short Stories Anthology, 2009.
