In this 2-hour seminar, we’ll look at ways various writers think about the concept of persona (the “I”) in their essays, and we’ll look at excerpts from essays to see how writers establish “to whom the thing happened,” as Virginia Woolf described the self in writing. You’ll do a persona inventory, followed by a discussion and Q&A. My goal is for you to leave inspired to return to essay drafts of your own to (re)shape the persona or to start new drafts knowing which persona the essay needs.
