Get it Straight, This is Queer Writing [Anastacia-Renee]

In this class, we will read the works of Hilton Als, Michelle Tea, and queer contemporary poets. We will discuss, analyze, and celebrate contemporary queer writing; we will also create and workshop a first draft of a poem, short story, or editorial essay, with foundational support from our reading. We will talk about the role of queer writers in a predominately straight literary scene and bulldoze stereotypes along the way.
