Hybrid Writing Workshop: The Long Engagement

Catalog description

In this course we will explore the tradition and possibilities of open-form hybrid writing via extended engagement with other works of literature and artworks, as well as with the writing practice itself. We will read a range of writers’ such engagements and class time will largely be devoted to reading discussion, workshop, and occasional in-class writing exercises. In weekly writing assignments we will work across genres, with chance procedures and exploratory modes designed to extend, deepen and complicate our writing practices. Students’ final project will be a long engagement with the work of another writer of their choosing.
