About the Fellowship
Thanks to a grant from the the Richard S. Reynolds Foundation, VCCA’s Richard S. and Julia Louise Reynolds Poetry Fellowship will provide fully-funded, three-week writing residencies to nine poets. The VCCA residency at Mt. San Angelo includes a private bedroom with private bath, a separate individual studio, and three meals a day in a community of cross-disciplinary artists.

“I enjoyed my residency and the fellowship with my very creative cohort a great deal. I wrote 12 new poems for a current project, and I was able to edit entirely 3 book manuscripts of mine which are underway, 2 of poetry, and 1 of poetry criticism. The setting is beautiful, and the days are worry free.”
