Personal Essay
Essay is an audacious and willowy form, subjective in its essence, partaking of memory, observation, critical thinking, intuitive leaps, and plain research. This class is designed to deepen our understanding of what a personal essay can do and be. We will consider questions about voice, what it means to use personal material, and how to combine the individual and global point of view. Class will include writing, reading, and discussion.
Due to COVID-19, all classes will take place online until further notice. If there's a possibility that your class might take place in person, you will be notified in advance. Even if classes can be held in person, there will always be a hybrid option to participate via Zoom.
Classes with "Zoom" in the title will be held via Zoom even after our doors open. Classes listed as "Online" will be held on Wet Ink, our platform for asynchronous learning.
All times are listed in Pacific Time.
