Description:
The semester will begin with thought, reading, on-line discussion and writing about WHY people write, why bother to do imaginative writing when we can just turn on our TVs or access the Internet. Along the way, we'll try to decide: What is the fundamental impulse behind poems and stories? How are they constructed, and what techniques do particular writers use effectively? What kinds of work do we most admire and why? How can a poem or a piece of fiction speak to us across, years, genders, and cultures? |
