| This class is open to graduate and undergraduate students via instructor permission.
An experimental prose-writing class where we will look at works of art, take walks and look closely at our world, contemplate the night-sky, read works of literature, and consider how we might write not merely about what we are looking at or reading, per se, but how to create something new from the experience. We will read an array of stories and essays by Bruno Schulz, Robert Walser, William Blake, Clarice Lispector, and Walter Benjamin as well as writings by visual artists from the contemporary David Hockney to Kandinsky, Delacroix, Vasari and others. We will do a lot of looking! Students will do weekly creative responses. To apply: send a 1 page letter specifying your interest in the course and any experience in creative writing or the visual arts.
