This course is a workshop in creative writing. Students acquire basic knowledge in the practice and evaluation of poetry and fiction, as well as in the use of literary vocabularies and techniques. Literary models will inspire and direct students’ own creative writing and inquiry into the relationship between form and content and between critical and creative thinking. The discipline of creative writing as a field of art, one continuous with other arts, will be stressed in the course by focusing on the process of creativity and procedures for generating new writing. We expect students to experiment in forms and to explore the genres of fiction and poetry, including the ground between them. We also encourage students to find forums and audiences for their creative work by editing and printing small collections of writing and by reading, exhibiting and performing their creative work.
