On the long-list for the 2017 Nigeria Prize for Literature are, count'em, four IWP alumni: Seun LARI-WILLIAMS (IWP ' 80 ), Tanure OJAIDE (IWP ' 85 ), Ogaga IFOWODO (IWP ' 00) and Obari GOMBA (IWP '16).
International Writing Program's core courses are closely related to our Fall Residency. In International Literature Today [181;191/IWP 3191] students read the prose and poetry of the visiting writers, who then offer informal lectures to place their work in a wide variety of literary and cultural contexts. In the International Translation Workshop [181:205/IWP 5205] selected visiting writers collaborate with graduate students of languages and literatures, or creative writing, to bring their texts into English.
