Writing By Degrees is truly an extraordinary conference--put on by graduate students, for graduate students, it combines a sophistication about the art of creating literature with a fresh passion for the subjects it embraces. The panels showed a terrific range of topics (electronic publishing and a previously undiscovered Sylvia Plath poem!) and the readings were spectacular--not just powerful keynote readers but graduate student readings that showed the future direction of American letters. A very exciting couple of days I would eagerly return to.
