Against Genre

Catalog description

An experimental workshop in creative writing hybridized with other forms--not only literary work that does not adhere to traditional genres, like prose-poetry, but writing that includes video, or music, or collage, and which includes practices like appropriation and non-traditional distribution. Including weekly reading assignments (Gabrielle Civil, Yoko Ono, Jack Halberstam, Claudia Rankine, Kate Durbin, Rick Moody, Mary-Kim Arnold, Shelly Jackson, and others), weekly writing prompts, one oral presentation.
