Graduate Study

E640 A,B,C, Graduate Writing Workshop

A. Fiction

Group discussion of original student fiction, emphasizing plot, characterization, style, structure, and theory. Students will normally submit one substantial story or chapter per credit hour and will be responsible for revising their own works as well as providing detailed evaluations of all works submitted to the workshop.

B . Poetry

This graduate workshop provides the student poet with an audience made up of instructor and fellow students who read the student's work in advance and offer analysis and suggestions in weekly class meetings. It is assumed that students accepted into the workshop already command a critical vocabulary.

Since one of the main aims of the course is to help students develop a body of work, students who enroll are expected to produce poems every week and to be open to criticism offered in class discussion. At the end of the term, poems written during that semester may be re-submitted as a portfolio in revised versions.

C. Creative Nonfiction

This is a writing workshop which challenges students to learn, through reading and a lot of writing practice, ways in which to conceive, research, write, and critique literary nonfiction--from personal essays to reportage-based literary journalism.
