Workshop course on writing original fiction, poetry, drama, and creative nonfiction. Prerequisite: ENGL 101 and ENGL 102. FS: 06/06/2018.
Notes:
This course is an introduction to the writing of poetry and fiction. We will learn, as a class, ways of responding to creative work and use our discussions as a means of defining our own aims and values as writers and poets. Thefinal goal of this course is a portfolio of original creative work, but peer response is fundamental; both will factor heavily in the final grade. The class will read works by contemporary and canonical writers as a way of expanding our view of what our writing can do. However, this course is designed as a creative writing workshop, and the majority of class time will be devoted to discussing new writing from students.
