Description
This workshop builds on the core concepts explored in the Fiction Forms course. Students will concentrate on developing their fiction portfolio while focusing on a selected body of readings to further solidify their knowledge of fictional forms. Emphasis may vary: Finding Voice; The Short Story Collection.
Notes
A workshop to focus on the energies that thrum between characters and settings, stories and their worlds. We know the role of specific and concrete details to the creation of believable place. But how many is “enough”? And how best to use the textures of setting in service of character development, or story arc? From believable representations of our extant world, to re-creations of the historical and recalled, to imaginative concoctions of the fantastical and imaginary, this course will consider best practices for leveraging setting to our greatest possible effect. Course readings will include fiction and essays by Rachel Kushner, David Mitchell, Joan Didion, Richard Russo, and many more. For fiction and nonfiction concentrators.
In the 21st century, why write in a poetic form, like a sonnet or a villanelle? Do forms still have currency? Yes, and many poets use them"” to control chaotic content, to enjoy the ringing tones of rhyme and repetition, and as an exercise, to stretch and develop their poetic muscles. We'll explore some of the familiar patterns but also dive into some wacky contemporary forms and enjoy the transgressive pleasures of bending an already existing pattern to new purposes. All explorers welcome as we write our way around the world, from the Elizabethan and Italian sonnets to the Japanese renga, with stops in Wales, Spain, and the Middle East.
This course provides a broad history of the genre combined with the workshop format. Emphasis will include developing an understanding of basic creative nonfiction elements such as voice, point of view, distance versus intimacy, truth versus memory, imagistic patterning, structure, setting, research, and others.
