ENGWRT 1550 - WRITING AND HEALING ARTS: WRITING AS PLAY/EXPERIMENTAL FORMS

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
"We are all born/ beautiful / the greatest tragedy is / being convinced we are not." - Rupi Kaur As children, many of us were natural artists and poets, seeing the world fresh and creating freely without fear of doing everything "wrong." This course is designed to help us do what Camus said is the goal of all art: "To gain access to those one or two images that first gained access to our hearts." Using experimental forms-including micro-memoir, flash, ekphrastic poetry, hermit-crab and braided essays and more-this course is designed to unlock writers' creativity and expand their potential for storytelling. In this course, students will read a variety of full-length texts that engage with experimental forms. Using these texts as models, students will create a variety of pieces that allow for both playful openness and craft-centered revision. Students will share their work in a supportive, yet rigorous, workshop environment.
