Winter Flash Warning!
Due to an unforeseen schedule conflict, Winter Flash Warning! has been cancelled for this quarter. Please check out these other amazing classes:
– The Visual Essay: Experiments in Form with Gabriela Denise Frank

From snowballs, acrostics, and lipograms to found poems and ekphrastics, a brief winter storm of flash essays is a great way to start the new year. In this generative course, we'll discuss sample works by Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Jeni De La O, the Oulipo workshop, and others to create fresh new writing inspired by the winter season. Focused on nonfiction; all genres welcome.
