No Feeling is Final [Jenny Offill]

This will be a class about how to draw from a vast continuum of emotion, both lived and imagined, in your work. We will talk about habits of attention, the importance of rigor and risk, “hot” and “cold” writing, the uses of failure, and that category of the terrifying known as the sublime. Required text: Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke, translated by Stephen Mitchell.
