I'LL GO ON: How do we consistently discover and shape new narratives, and then do it all over again in revision? How can our writing benefit from reassessing and reaffirming our voices, languages, craft, and writing identities? This intermediate nonfiction workshop aims to practice practice. We’ll study the essential elements of creative nonfiction through the practices and provocations of a diverse set of working writers, styles, and genres—essay, academic writing, memoir, research, reporting, criticism, and lyricism. Workshop requires a rigorous level of participation and accountability; it also allows us to take risks with craft, inspiration, and our limitless capacity to grow as writers. This course aims to help us all think and write anew, and to welcome the enlargement, refinement, and transformation of our creative practices. We'll read work by authors such as Aisha Sabatini Sloan, Carmen Maria Machado, Tressie McMillan Cottom, and Orlando White.
