Cut to the Quick: Flash NONfiction
Through reading, discussion, and workshop, we will explore the wilderness where short prose-poems meet concise lyrical essays and micro-narratives. Writers at every level will study the anatomy, behavior, and language of nonfiction miniatures like poem-essay hybrids. The expedition may encounter sharp-toothed truth, winged lyricism, and mini-memoirs traveling in book-length flocks. Writing prompts will help us capture these creatures. Our guides will include Judith Kitchen, Lia Purpura, Diane Seuss, and the king of brevity, Dinty W. Moore.
No class Nov. 29
Due to COVID-19, all classes will take place online-either through Zoom or through Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform-through Spring quarter 2021.
All times are listed in Pacific Time.
