Once again it is time to scientifically determine the best writing school in the country. This year’s seeding is based on last year’s results. Can Vermont defend its title? Stay tuned.
We ask that you leave your vote on the comments page of this post. Only one vote per person per school this round please. But if you like you can vote for two schools, yours and another. This next round of voting will determine the final 2! Because how long can we really keep this up?

1. Vermont College: 192
2. Bama: 64
3. Ohio State: 51

McNeese
McNeese, Cinderella no more…
Penn State (doesn’t need one, two, or three exclamation marks . . . go get a tattoo or something: Maybe get “God” and realize you can’t stand the pain, so you stop there.)
McNeese, yo.
McNeese!
Go Goddard – esp. the Port Townsend WA campus!
Stony Brook Southampton, y’all!
Vermont College of Fine Arts. A magical place that changed not only my writing but my life.
McNeese
McNeese all the way!
I vote for McNeese 🙂

It’s Goddard for me.
Goddard, of course.
McNeese State. Go Pokes!
No doubt about it: GODDARD!!!!
Goddard College

McNeese, of course, the true home of yearning.

Another vote for Goddard
Goddard College has the best writing program.
Stony Brook Southampton and Stony Brook Manhattan!!!
Goddard, definitely.
It’s all about the pleasure afforded by fine writing, poetry is meant to be enjoyed. To be fun.
Some peeps take verse way to seriously. It’s way too distant from mainstream America. Not accessible like cute animal pics or America’s Funniest Videos. I mean, heck, limericks can be such a hoot. Haiku: so beauteous. Great facebook quotes make me think, but Doggerel makes me wag my tail.
Lighten up, versifiers, join the real world. Live, love, laugh and be happy.
Obviously, this is a vote for Iowa.
Well, I’m going to throw in behind Goddard.
Goddard!

Simple: Goddard.
Goddard!!!! And Goddard!
Go Goddard Go!
