The Tolerance Project: A Collaborative MFA in Creative Writing has reached its terminus. We made it! And with a perfect 4.0 GPA...How surprising is that? (Not so much when an A- is considered a "bad" grade, but we're done with the polemics, aren't we.)
The Tolerance Project Archive will be available for the duration as a resource for future MFA poems that are hopefully better than ours.
Stay tuned for The Tolerance Project: A Commemorative Edition to be published this fall by No press.
And we may also post a behind-the-scenes look at the making of The Tolerance Project, with a lofty title something like "The Tolerance Project: The Projection of the Intimate Into the Historical."
Infinite thanks to all collaborators with, supporters of, and snipers at this project.
Yours, as always, for the duration,
Rachel Zolf
The Tolerance Project Coordinator

How The Tolerance Project works
MFA poems written for class will be posted on this blog. Poetic DNA barcodes for the traces used in each poem appear at the end of each MFA poem post. Click on the barcodes to reveal the donor identities and poetic DNA traces.
This collaboration includes you. The online public is welcome to use the comments field to give constructive feedback on The Tolerance Project poems. You are also very welcome to browse The Tolerance Project Archive and create your own MFA poems. Post them on the Archive site and if we like them, we may even bring them to class for feedback.
Based on cumulative feedback received within and without the institution, the MFA poems will be scrupulously revised toward the creation of The Writing Thesis.
