Section Description

This creative nonfiction workshop focuses on the art of writing about place. We’ll read creative nonfiction literature that engages in themes about place, like how place shapes individual and cultural identify, how landscapes inform imagination, and our desire to belong. We will consider the ways writing can map and create our own sense of place. Then we’ll write our own creative essays that connect in some way to one or more of these themes. These pieces will draw on our personal memories and experiences and may also include research that helps us further explore the intellectual and/or emotional heart of the matter. This class will focus on process, meaning you will experiment with writing and revision techniques to learn more about how you develop your best creative writing.
