Workshop course on creative writing with a focus on values, ethics, and social responsibility.

Creative Writing, Voice, and Community is an introduction to writing as a form of social engagement, in which we will consider the ways our own aesthetic choices engage with the world. The course assignments will explore questions of self-discovery and community and reflect on the development of a personal aesthetic or artistic style. In addition to creating work of our own through exercises and assignments, we will read and analyze outside texts as models. We will also become accustomed to describing and helping further the development of our classmates’ writing, the ultimate goal being the creation of a workshop community in which everyone feels able to take risks in their writing.
