How might we write essays without following narrative, sequential events, or chronology? This 4-week class offers a survey of essays that rely on associations, juxtapositions, repetition, intertextuality, patterns, gaps, digressions, echoes, and more to create momentum and meaning. And you’ll get to write experiments in each form (300-800 words)—working to turn What Happened into What Might Happen In My Writing? Join us! 1 SPOT LEFT!
Model essays by Sven Birkerts, Michael Todd Cohen, Steven Church, Jaquira Díaz, L.I. Henley, Allegra Hyde, Jessica Hendry Nelson, Jericho Parms, and others.
The class readings and Zoom link will be emailed to you.
