Writing Our Politics
You have something to say! You’ve said it in an argument essay in school or you’ve said it to your parents, aunts, uncles, siblings in heated discussions, but maybe it hasn’t found its way home yet; your heart hasn’t found the language for your argument. In this class we approach the issue you are thinking about from several directions––a poem, a fictional piece, a creative essay, a rant, a song––with the hope of finding how this thing needs to be expressed.
