Summer Session I: June 1 - July 3, 2009
This class is a graded course but Brandeis students may use up one of their Pass/Fail options for this course.
This creative writing workshop is designed for those willing to take a close look at the act of writing, whether prose or poetry. The course will be highly interactive, with feedback from other members as well as the workshop leader. Writing experiments will get our creative juices flowing and stimulate creative muscles we are not used to flexing. We will read a variety of short writings to provide a common ground for theorizing, inspiring, and sharing the creative process. We will specifically consider what we are trying to accomplish: to change the world? to change ourselves? to think? to see? to find an individual voice? We will focus on words, techniques, styles, dreams, bodies, states of mind, and the world outside. You can view a syllabus for this class here.
NOTE: This course is hybrid course which combines online learning using a course website in LATTE with traditional class meetings each Wednesday from 11:15am-1:45pm.
