Creative Nonfiction III

Together we will explore a range of essay/memoir forms, with an emphasis on the lyrical, fragmented, and braided. We will ask: What topics have you been avoiding, and how can experimentation help you access your most essential material? We will write and share from in-class prompts; discuss craft; workshop drafts; and read Hodson, Williams, Washuta, Vuong, Chee, and more. Ultimately we will push ourselves to look inward and outward; to revise and take risks; and to hold ourselves accountable to our goals.
