ADVANCED NON-FICTION: CONSTRUCTING THE REAL This Advanced Non-Fiction course will serve as a meeting point between your pasts and futures as writers. You will take stock of your college writing and reading so far, and use earlier discoveries to push those experiences into new dimensions. You will produce, over the semester, several short pieces, and two substantial (circa 8-10 pages) essays, which you will subject to guided revisions. These pieces can serve as part of your final Capstone project - and/or future writing. You will also revisit, through reading articles, essays, memoir fragments and experimental prose - the uses of close observation, and tactics for introducing the Five Senses into your own writing. Exploration and risk-taking will be emphasized throughout the semester, along with a rigorous analysis of the craft displayed in your own and your peers’ writing, and in course readings.

Permission of the instructor will be required to register for this course after the first week of the semester.
