Open City

From an interview with Maud (the only blogger, yet alone megalomaniac "lit-blogger," with 500+ posts on the main page so that it takes forever to load), back in January:

Is preference given to graduates of MFA programs?

Yes. We also ask for SAT scores, a self portrait in pencil, a copy of a postcard someone once sent you, and a recommendation from teachers at the elementary and junior high school level, and if you can't find one that remembers you even for a bad recommendation, we're just not interested.

I have no idea what any of this means.
