Forms of Poetry Amy Lowell wrote, “No one expects a man to make a chair without first learning how, but there is a popular impression that the poet is born, not made, and that his verses burst from his overflowing heart of themselves. As a matter of fact, the poet must learn his trade in the same manner, and with the same painstaking care, as the cabinet-maker.” Let’s look at poetry from a designer’s perspective. As a designer of poetry, we are charged with creating works of beauty that sometimes fall within certain parameters such as: What does this “space” need? What do I want to “say” here? What are my materials? In this course students will address the design qualities of a poem by experimenting with forms like the sonnet, ballad, ode, cento, chant, elegia, haiku, and villanelle. Note: No previous experience necessary.

Writing Narrative Non-Fiction Do you have a true story to tell but don’t know where to start? By “showing” rather than “telling” a story, your scenes will come alive with action and emotion, but good research is also needed to add the factual details that make the most compelling tales. Whether it be a biography, political expose or memoir, writing non-fiction using fiction techniques is harder than it looks, but this course will help break the craft into its basic elements. Through trigger exercises and readand-critique workshop sessions, students will explore plot, point of view, voice, characters, setting, description and dialogue. We will also discuss research and interviewing techniques, and how to approach the overall narrative structure of a short or book-length work. Discover how successful middle grade and young adult books are crafted, and begin to plot out and write a tale of your own. In this course, we will consider how a plot works, what makes a compelling character, and what drives a reader forward. Students will participate in an online critique group and have an opportunity to get their first five pages reviewed.

Playwriting I From Death of a Salesman to Company to The Color Purple, the foundation of dramatic writing is characters in conflict. In this class you will learn about this and other basic dramatic principles in the only way you really can: by doing. You will write extensively, working with such concepts as character objectives and tactics, conflict, dramatic language and style in order to focus your dramatic vision and unlock that elusive “writer’s voice.” You will have the opportunity to share your work and receive extensive critique in a safe and supportive workshop environment. The class will culminate in readings of the students’ original work. Note: Please bring an idea for a play to the first class. IN-CLASS Instructor: Jennifer Bustance, M.F.A.

With the use of contemporary and classic novels as examples, you will evaluate the progress on the plot arc and character development within your story.

For the workshop portion of the course we will focus on endings. This does not mean you have to have completed your novel, but we will begin the work to develop a last chapter, an essential way to determine what should really be in the middle.

LITERATURE Ernest Hemingway: Titan of American Literature ˜Ernest Hemingway wrote “All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you; the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse.” One of the most influential writers of the 20th century, he has given us just that: A front-row seat at his musings on war, love, masculinity, morality, alcoholism, the American abroad, and the aimlessness of the lost generation. Through round-table discussions of The Sun Also Rises, A Movable Feast, and the short stories, we will investigate Hemingway’s spare, elegant, and emotionally ferocious stories. Whether you are discovering his works for the first time, or revisiting his brilliance, the works of Hemingway are likely to make a profound and lasting impression.
