To Taste Life Twice: Writing the Personal Essay -- Open for Registration
To Taste Life Twice: Writing the Personal Essay
Forget those stodgy 5 paragraph formats you learned in high school, or the college entrance essays you were forced to write for admissions. Essay comes from the french word essayer, which quite literally means "to try." It is one of the most expansive and delightful literary forms. In this collaborative and generative class we are going to read some great essays, talk about what makes them sing, and then work with prompts to generate some of our own. We'll talk about voice, style, characterization and how to make the personal universal.
Class Schedule: Tuesdays, 7:00-8:00pm, May 10, 17, 24, & 31, 2022
