Topics in Advanced Writing: Hybrid Forms

Catalog description

This course offers students the opportunity to explore and examine the freedoms and boundaries of the traditional creative writing genre in order to mix, cross, blend, and subvert them. In its investigation of poetry, fiction, essay, and varied multimodal and digital media, the course will seek to consider the usefulness of limitation and the possibility of hybrid works across these borders, and in the interstitial spaces between them. Students will produce weekly workshop pieces which will ultimately culminate in the generation of a multi-genre project which approaches the questions and considerations at the center of the course. Final projects will be presented at an online event, the Hybrid Forms Exhibit , featuring student works.
