Subject: International Writing Program
INTERNATIONAL WRITING PROGRAM
THE INTERNATIONAL WRITING PROGRAM (IWP) at THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA and
THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA LIBRARIES have joined talents to create The IWP
Homepage. The impetus for this project is a shared desire to provide
access to selected original texts of the participant IWP authors. The IWP
Homepage also details information about the program itself as well as
research information on writing. The library is including these texts
as part of an initiative to provide broad access to original texts in
electronic format. The International Writing Program is including the
writings as an integral part of their new Homepage.
Also included in this collaborative project: IWP Annual
Report; The Gallery (photos of participants); Roster of Writers;
Author Biographies; Staff Profiles; Program Description; the
program's literary magazine, "100 Words"; Internet links to
writing programs including Writing at the University of Iowa.
The page includes a selection of writings from the 35 participant
authors in the 1996 International Writing Program. Also contained in
the homepage collection are the writings of IWP Director, Clark Blaise and
Rowena Torrevillas, the IWP Program Associate. Selected works of
participating international writers from this renowned writing program
can now be viewed by students and scholars from anywhere in the world.
Information concerning this project can be obtained by visiting the IWP
Homepage <http://www.uiowa.edu/~iwp> or by contacting IWP Program
Associate, Rowena Torrevillas (rowena-torrevillas@uiowa.edu) or
