Creative Writing

This course provides a chance for students to explore the craft of writing – poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction – to discover what they want to say about themselves and their individual perspectives in and through written language. Students will discuss a variety of creative composition strategies, including figurative language, sound, imagery, voice, and style. They will read poems, personal essays, short stories, and essays on the craft of writing as inspiration for their own work in these genres. Students may enroll in either semester and are encouraged to enroll for both fall and spring.
