This course introduces practices of writing poetry, memoir, and short prose (flash fiction) through a range of traditional and contemporary approaches. Through practical workshops, students will experiment with textual form and content. Particular attention will be paid to: developing plot, action, geography/time/space, detail, character, point of view, rewriting, and giving and receiving feedback. Students will be encouraged to explore and improve their own style and interests.
A Schein will be awarded for regular attendance, active participation, and a portfolio. This portfolio will include a piece of flash fiction, poetry, short memoir and a longer creative writing piece of the students’ own choosing.
