Creative Writing

In The Wayfinder, award-winning author and Stanford Professor Adam Johnson draws on the cultures and landscapes of the Polynesian islands to tell a story set 1,000 years in the past – with timely echoes for today.

With “The Island,” Nicholas Jenkins captures the poet’s formative years and relationship with his native England.

By returning to its foundational principles and adapting to contemporary needs, Stanford’s Creative Writing Program reaffirms its dedication to nurturing the next generation of writers.
