Iowa, sure, but its time in the sun is fading. Apply there and accept if they give you a generous scholarship. I can also connect you with a couple or several friends who went there. Have you looked at the Michener Center for Writers? That was my top choice when I was applying. Also Boston University is good. Also Columbia. Also the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Good funding there and a cool, funky town/city.
If you want to stay in Canada, apply at Guelph-Humber and move to Toronto and hang out with me. You're good to look at faculty, something I didn't do. But it didn't matter. I was going for the space to write (also sentimental connections to each place: Saskatoon (historical significance to my family, Uncle and Dad both got degrees there), Austin (everyone's always like OMG coolest city, and hey, I'm from Alberta, I can handle Texas), Madison (escaped the Vancouver Olympics and spent a great week with M. there), Victoria (duh) and Toronto (the next big Canadian city I wanted to move to)), and I did that, despite of or in spite of the faculty.
What about UVic?
You know what book you should read? I am going to recommend it on the Internet site of reading where we sometimes talk at each other.
I will take back my UBC comment. You find a good supervisor and you will do well. But you will work harder than, hm, 90% of your classmates? 95%? And there will be a LOT of classmates. The program is huge. Iowa is also huge, but it would be a big change and the new stuff might make up for the, "Oh, hm, I thought this was going to be different" stuff of the actual program.
