The Art of the Essay


The personal essay offers the utmost freedom and flexibility to explore the writer’s range of thoughts, feeling and experiences. We will briefly examine the structure of the essay, but the heart of the class lies in the earnest give-and-take between instructor and students to make their essays as good as they can be. The group will also discuss publishing possibilities. Bring a work in progress to the first session.

6 Tuesdays, 7:00–9:00 p.m., 11/11/2014–12/16/2014
