Course Description

How do writers create that sense of a “vivid, continuous dream”? Explore how language can be used as an artistic medium with which to evoke sensory and emotional experience so that, as E.L. Doctorow said, you will not tell your readers that it is raining, but give them the feeling that they are being rained upon. Examples from fiction, nonfiction, and poetry will reveal techniques that we will then experiment with through in-class writing so that we can come to understand both the theory and practice of making worlds come to life on the page.
