The Most Personal Essay [Nicole Hardy]

We’ll study, write, and workshop short essays that delve deeply into the first person, focusing on structure, narrative voice, and scene in order to cultivate vulnerability without self-indulgence, pathos without sentimentality, sharing without oversharing. We’ll use essays from the New York Times Magazine’s Lives and the New York Times’s Modern Love columns as models; at the end of the course, students will be encouraged to submit their essays to one or the other.
