ENW 5005Creative Non-Fiction3
A commitment to fact in all its inconvenience combined with a com- mitment to achieving a depth of meaning comparable to that found in fiction is the passion of the nonfiction writer. There is no better way to explore this genre than by working in its four principle forms: Memoir, Opinion, Essay and Literary Reporting. In this workshop students will write a piece in each form and we will also analyze the work of masters in each form. Reading list: Coming into the Country by John McPhee; Up at the Old Hotel by Joseph Mitchell; The Art of the Personal Essay by Philip Lopate, ed.; An American Requiem by James Carroll; My Brother by Jamaica Kincaid; and Let Us Now Praise Famous Men by James Agee.

ENW 5029Fiction3
Students study language, tone, structure, dialogue and point of view in order to get at how to create compelling, empathetic characters on the page. We examine extensively the ways exemplary stories connect with readers. The semester's work consists largely of readings and exercises, with some workshopping of student writing. Students are to be thor- oughly familiar with the assigned readings and are expected to have useful and insightful responses to relevant issues of craft. The final requirement for the class is a short story (most likely between 8 and 30 pages in length) or a chapter or two of a novel (same page requirements) that has been workshopped at least once.

ENW 5036Writing the Contemporary Novel3
The purpose of this course is to help the student begin writing his/her own novel. Each student will write 50 pages of an original work, handing in 4-5 pages each week. In addition, the class will study a series of novels with an eye to such things as structure, plot, style, dialogue, characterization, place and time, imagery, etc. Each class will be divided between a discussion of the novel being read that week, and a workshop centering on the pages of one of the students' work. Assigned texts are: The Awakening by Kate Chopin; Sula by Toni Morrison; The Movie- goer by Walker Percy; The Stranger by Albert Camus; and Play It as It Lays by Joan Didion.

ENW 5049Teaching Creative Writing3
Many of us who choose the writing life often find ourselves also choosing teaching as a means of supporting our writing habit. The balance between writing and teaching is tricky: How is it possible to teach well without sapping the energy needed for your own work? This course aims to model a number of approaches to teaching writing, beginning with adapting the workshop techniques of a Master of Arts in Creative Writing or Master of Fine Arts program to other settings. We will study and invent strategies for teaching children, teachers, seniors, and even emotionally fragile populations for whom the act of writing can be life-saving. We will explore the teaching of different genres including fiction and personal essay, with a special emphasis on teaching poetry.

ENW 5057Contemporary Reading and Writing of Poetry
(3 cr.) Although we will explore some traditional poetic forms, the emphasis in this class will be an in-depth look into the more open contemporary forms that published poets are writing today and apply those tech- niques to our own poems. We will study poets from the mid 1950s to the present and discover how their techniques can be applied to our own writing. In short, our poems will not fit a form or metrical grid, but will find forms to fit our poems. The effect is for each individual poet in class to incorporate rhythms that are personal and not artificial and strive to have their poems capture the realism and spontaneity of everyday speech.

cr.) This course considers how writers recapture the child's world with its uniquely heightened senses and near-primal beliefs. As students begin writing the first draft of their novels, they explore such elements as wonder, magic, make-believe, longing, justice, personal growth, and hope. Assigned readings lead to discussions that include: the invisible self, reflective voice, evolution of story, transformation of character, and re-imagining the draft. Students should be prepared to read a book and write a chapter each week.
