| Course Title: Advanced Creative Writing Topics: 'Hybrid Genre Writing' |
| Start Date: 01/24/2022 End Date: 05/09/2022 |
| Term: Spring Semester 2022 |
| Description: Students will read and discuss a diverse array of hybrid-genre works or writing that combines and coalesces two or more genres: poetry, fiction, criticism, and/or memoir. Some books will also cross media incorporating painting, photography, or film. Students will consider how drawing upon different prose, verse, and multi-media modes can complement and augment the way writers shape their personal and political stories and will complete writing, speaking, and other assignments designed to build toward a hybrid-genre work. Everyone will give and receive critique in a workshop environment, expand approaches to drafting, and revise work for the final assignment. |

| Instructor's comments about the book list: Purchasing the six required books is a requirement of the course, and I strongly recommend buying physical copies of the books, as the design of each book is integral to its meaning. You can purchase inexpensive copies of all titles through the Odyssey Bookshop or online; I recommend: https://www.spdbooks.org/ or https://bookshop.org/. Buying the books directly supports independent booksellers and the authors. |
