Creative Writing:Memoir Poetry

Catalog #60801621

Multiple course topic titles are offered under this catalog number; please refer to the corresponding course description for a particular topic title. In "Creative Writing All Levels," beginning or advanced writers explore the possibilities of writing for fun and publication by practicing specific writing skills that enhance descriptive language usage, story telling, and exposition, including styles, grammar usage, and imagery. "Creative Writing: Memoirs" will help students tackle the familiar craft issue of story-telling such as description, narrative compression, dialog, character development, holding tension, and theme, as well as how to navigate the tricky waters of memory and what is appropriate/legal to write about; the course will be a combination of writing/workshopping stories, as well as reading established memoirists in order to learn about craft and technique.
