Q: Anyone know how this year's USF circumstances differ from last year which saw the position canceled?

A: I think last year's USF Poetry job was actually filled (at least that was the claim on last year's page, see Creative Writing 2012). Maybe someone else can confirm whether that is accurate. Whatever the case, it definitely appears that this position is located in the English Dept., whereas last year's was for the MFA program (evidently these are 2 different things at USF).

A: For whatever it's worth, I called the Office of Graduate Programs, Arts & Sciences, and was told the English Dept. and the MFA Program are indeed separate entities.

A: Last year's hire was for the MFA program. Doug Powell, who'd previous been undergrad faculty at USF, accepted the position. This position is his old one.
