Fall 2023 Detailed Description: 

This workshop celebrates content and the role that research plays in creative writing. Unless you are writing only from memory or imagination, you will need to gather material, and to that end we will spend the semester cultivating the skills that enable nonfiction master John McPhee to write volumes on rocks, memoirist Vivian Gornick to recount settings and conversations, novelist Ian McEwan to describe the work of Cold War spies, and poet Amanda Gorman to craft her infamous inaugural poem. Details build narrative and we will explore the resources and techniques – which range from interviewing to intimate reporting to mining periodicals and databases – that will help you collect the content needed to write credibly and with authority about people, place, and conflicts in tales of fact or imagination. Students will write one 3,000-5,000-word researched narrative or two shorter pieces in the genre of their choice. Authors we will read include Geraldine Brooks, Isabel Wilkerson, Lee Gutkind, Ayana Mathis, and Anthony Doerr. MFA writers of all genres welcome.

Special Topic Fall 2023: Shakespeare in the 21st Century

This course is designed to introduce you to issues and practices that have become central to Shakespeare criticism and performance in the past twenty-five years. We'll examine the ways in which cross-gender and cross-racial casting has reshaped Shakespeare performance, the rise of Shakespearean adaptation and same-language "translation," the globalization of Shakespeare, festival performance, screen Shakespeare (especially the small screen), efforts to bring decolonization and social justice to the fore in teaching and performance, and the vexed question of "canceling" Shakespeare, among other issues. In addition to delving deep into several Shakespeare plays, we will read a range of essays and view many different kinds of Shakespeare performances. This course will assume that you have some previous familiarity with Shakespeare; it is an ideal follow-up to ENGL 657, "Introduction to Shakespeare." Requirements will include short writing assignments, a class presentation, and a final research paper.
