This 6-week course covers various essay forms—braided, fragmented, borrowed form, and experimental—as well as points of view beyond the “I", including 2nd person, 3rd person, 1st person plural, even essays that combine more than one point of view. We’ll meet each Saturday (beginning at 11:00 AM CST) for 2 hours, and each week, you’ll write an experiment (350-750 words) and receive feedback from me. During the last session, you will have the opportunity to share your favorite experiment with the group. We’ll read work by Hanif Abdurraqib, Jaquira Díaz, Lily Hoang, Sarah Manguso, Angela Morales, Ira Sukrungruang, Aisha Sabatini Sloan, and more. Join us! The Zoom Link will be sent to you one week before the course begins.
