CRWR 341 - Lyric Essay

FC ARHU WINT PRAX

4 credits
The lyric essay is a chimera–part poetry and part prose, part tame and part feral. It is an outlier, a rebel, a wild flight into liminal space. In this course, students will read and write lyric essays that experiment and play with form, structure, and content. Through discussion, reading, and generative exercises, students will explore many different approaches to writing lyric essays, including juxtaposition, collage, braids, and untethered, associative thinking.

Prerequisites: two 200-level CRWR classes.
