| The Corvid Writers |
The Corvid Writers grew out of a
Master's program at Goddard College,
where its eight founding members met as
graduate students. The desire to write and
to nurture the art of others brought them
together in the mountains of Vermont and
has kept them together ever since. Like the
Corvids they use as their symbol, they strive
to be fierce, intelligent and bold!
