The famous writer Joseph Conrad acknowledges the fundamental commonality between writer and teacher when he says, “My task…is to make you see.” Whether on the page or in the classroom, we are striving for an ability to express our view of the world, and at the same time, enable others to see the world more truly. While the main focus of the course will be on workshopping our own writing, readings and writing exercises will also be used to help challenge and strengthen our perspectives. We will support, critique, and challenge each other’s work so each of us can walk away from this course with a better understanding of our own stories and the stories of others. Both beginning and advanced writers are welcome.
