EGL-2160 Advanced Creative Writing

Credits 3
An intensive, genre-specific workshop which aims to further the philosophies, issues, and possibilities of craft explored in its predecessor, English 2150. This course will encourage the serious creative writing student to pursue more sophisticated and complex expression in a selected genre (poetry, fiction, or drama). Although the course will contain reading and analysis of contemporary authors, the focus will be on the creation of original work with constructive feedback from peers considered during the revision process.
Prerequisite(s): EGL-1020, or EGL-1100, or EGL-1320, or EGL-1340; and EGL-2150, or permission of instructor.
