This course introduces students to the voices, styles, and structures of the creative non-fiction essay. This class is designed for the student pursuing additional instruction in this discipline. Students read and analyze creative non-fiction works such as the memoir, the meditation, the lyric essay, and the literary journalistic essay. They then write essays that incorporate the narrative devices they have identified in the assigned works. A major focus is attention to diction, syntax, and revision as elements of effective writing.
