In this month’s look at literary communities, we’re talking with Anis Shivani. Many of you may be most familiar with Shivani as a voice of criticism or dissent, especially when it comes to the current creative writing landscape and its relationship to MFA programs. I’ve been fascinated by Shivani’s views on these and similar issues for some time, but I’m also curious about what these ideas might mean with regard to writers and community more generally speaking.
