The Creative Writing faculty of the Department of English Literature is pleased to announce that there will be TWO Morrell-Potter Summer Stipends in Creative Writing awarded for 2006: to Tiana Pyer-Pereira in poetry, and to Eliza Blair in fiction. As always, we found this a very difficult decision, with remarkable poems and stories submitted by writers in this year’s junior class. Congratulations to Tiana and Eliza, and indeed to all who shared their intriguing work with us.

Lois Morrell Award (First prize) – Lauren Rile Smith ’08
