Details:
Writing about ourselves and our own life is an enlightening process of discovery that allows us to communicate experience in a myriad of ways. In this course we will read and discuss essays by a wide range of authors (including: Ben Lerner, Annie Ernaux and James Baldwin, amongst others), exploring the ‘personal’ in differing capacities, and practicing writing techniques to allow us to develop our own personal essay practice. Each week we will read some work and discuss (or simply listen to) the ideas, techniques, and themes which that work inspired. We will continue by working on an aspect of our own personal essays/memoir. As always with WO workshops there is no pressure/expectation to share work - though you are welcome to at the close of the course!
At the end of these four weeks you will have a better sense of the malleability of the personal essay, its reaches, and its complexities. You will also be able to experiment with your own material and have the opportunity to submit a draft essay for feedback from Katie or Emma.
