Cross-Genre Exploration – New!
Adult Multi-Week | Available
Explore writing and reading work that is cross-genre, meaning a blend of multiple genres such as poetry, prose, fiction, and creative nonfiction. A cross-genre exploration allows for students to stretch their notions of genre and write something new and experimental. Guidance and prompts will be provided for all writing that is to be workshopped. Reading lists and materials will also be provided as we will be reading for a portion of every class as well as talking about craft.
- Students can expect a light load of work between classes. They will be expected to write a poem as well as read an occasional article or essay, which will be sent via email.
THIS CLASS ORIGINALLY STATED 1030-12 IN THE PRINT CATALOG, BUT IS ACTUALLY 6:30 TO 9.
