English 100NF - Winter, 2023
Creative Writing: Nonfiction
Class Information
Instructor:
Gouirand, Rae
Time:
MW 10:30-11:50
Location:
248 Voorhies
Description
New literature is increasingly populated by works of lyric prose, memoir, and creative nonfiction by writers working in (and across) all genre traditions. In this workshop, we will examine how writers of creative nonfiction blend fiction?s narrative and dramatic power, poetry?s rhythms and richness, and journalism?s ideal of truth in their attempts to transform information into powerful and artful literature. Students will be challenged to produce new pages weekly toward a variety of essay-length projects.
Grading
Grading will be based upon weekly work submitted to the instructor and the workshop, contributions to in-class discussions, and a final portfolio of revised work.
