Through a diverse selection of creative works, revelatory prompts, and engaged discussion, students will collectively explore the possibilities of abjection, body horror, and the sensory as generative and analytical praxis. Students will unearth new ways to invoke and center the body, fissures, and fractures by crafting non-fiction works that embrace liminality and experimentation with form. Throughout this course, students will be encouraged to uncover new approaches to their creative practice through a craft focused exploration of genre and voice in addition to engaging in workshop. Students will also learn how to incorporate artifacts, new media, and theory into their practice to further excavate, channel, and conjure new thresholds and topographies within their writing. Together, they will discover the narrative potential of what disturbs, rattles, and haunts.
