This year marks the first decade of the UMass Boston MFA Program. A new poet has joined the faculty, all three faculty poets have had new books this year, and two of our graduates have published their first books. We'd like to celebrate this landmark with a reading and discussion of the program by our diverse faculty poets--Lillian-Yvonne Bertram, Jill McDonough, and Lloyd Schwartz--and our talented students.
