- Class Notes:
- In this class, we will explore the enormous storytelling potential that television - one of the most readily accessed and popular modes of storytelling in the world - offers writers. Over the course of this class, we will investigate how television showrunners develop an idea for a story and realize that vision to tell a meaningful story while navigating the parameters of budget, schedule, and the needs of networks/production stakeholders. We will dissect a number of series episodes in order to examine the ways in which audiences now watch television (on demand, on their phones) and how that impacts the kind of stories writers might want to develop. We'll ask how do shows like CSI and Law and Order work? How is that different from The Walking Dead or Downtown Abbey, True Detective or Chernobyl? Learning to "read" a variety of shows in this way will allow us to examine how writers use craft techniques to create a particular effect and to consider how story arcs are developed over the long-term in order to sustain an audience's interest season after season. While breaking down episodes to understand the five-act structure of the television episode and how writers move from one strand to another, where hooks are built in for commercial breaks, how structure builds to create cliffhangers and seasonal arcs, we'll also engage in intensive and regular writing practice that will explore other aspects of craft: character, dialogue, world-building, plot development, visual language, scene writing, and the role of genre. These challenging writing exercises will help us establish a regular writing discipline, allow us to experiment, and build our sense of identity as writing professionals. But most importantly of all, they will prepare us for the writing of a TV treatment/Bible for each writer's original show. Finally, we'll workshop extensively as we produce outlines, treatments, and scene breakdowns on the way to developing a pilot script. Evaluating scripts and learning to

In this craft class, you will build a world, write a short story, and expand it into a longer work of fiction up to twenty-five pages as is characteristic for the overall genre. Your work of fiction might be alternate history, apocalyptic fiction, cyberpunk, magical realism, speculative fiction, sword and sorcery, or another sub-genre. Along the way, your instructor will introduce you to classic and contemporary science fiction and fantasy short stories, including those written by Black, Brown, female-identified and/or queer writers. Each week, your instructor will also give mini-lectures about topics of interest and provide you with writing exercises and prompts that are peculiar to this genre.

What are the ethical considerations in this type of writing? And, perhaps most importantly, how do writers use portraits of others in their lives to draw conclusions about themselves and the world around them? Expect to read essays and memoir excerpts and to generate and revise new writing about the people in your life.

- Class Notes:
- Stories help readers construct their understanding of the world. Seeing or missing their experiences reflected in literature can affect how welcome they feel in fictional and real worlds. When viewed through this lens, the act of writing becomes revolutionary as it allows writers to construct and mirror their own realities in prose, thereby expanding the boundaries of their worlds and the worlds of those who read their stories. In this class, designed for writers of all identities, we will center questions of gender and sexuality in our fiction writing. By the end of this course students will: 1.Deeply engage with the intersectionality of LGBTQ+ experiences and how class, race, disability, language, nationality, citizenship, and power intersect with gender and sexuality. 2. Utilize numerous creative writing craft elements to explore and detail LGBTQ+ experiences beyond the mainstream with nuance and respect. 3. Cultivate a fiction portfolio through a culturally responsible practice.

- The Art of Transformative Revision In this class, we will be looking at revision as a place of learning rather than a place of perfection. You will learn from the revision process in this class how to continue generating more work, continue building a sense of when a story is done, and to continue building out your writing toolbox and understanding of different craft elements. Throughout the semester, you will work with a ten page short story and revise it several times. Expect to think deeply about POV, tense, characterization, compression in fiction, setting, and how style can help communicate meaning and themes. We will read several contemporary short stories and craft essays and discuss both the elements that will help our own fiction, but also discuss what it means to have a writing life after leaving the university. There will also be a workshop component to this course.

- Many of the writers we now consider most influential and beloved started out as voices crying out alone in the wilderness. Their skeptical early readers found their styles to be impossibly strange, incomprehensible, or even ridiculous. In this class we will celebrate experiments into weird, ground-breaking, and revolutionary writing. We'll read and discuss poems that feature distinct voices, from confessionalism to surrealism, spoken word to ultra talk, from prayers to spells, lyricism to journalism. After finding those writers whose voices resonate most deeply with them, students will create chapbooks of their own creative writing that experiment with new possibilities.

- Gordon Grice will teach this class. This multi-genre writing workshop explores literary genres that aim for fear - horror fiction and poetry, nonfiction accounts of crime and animal attacks, and more. You'll analyze and discuss published examples, focusing on such matters as the construction of the premise, the treatment of violence, and horror's special demands on point-of-view. Through these discussions and a few brief lectures and exercises, you will learn creative techniques for producing terror and awe. Then you'll practice those techniques in the genres of your choice. Each student is expected to submit a substantial piece of writing three times in the term - a short story, an essay, a suite of poems; to significantly revise at least one of them by the end of the course; and to fully participate in giving constructive feedback to others.

- What can literature teach us about the people who have fought in our wars? Do only soldiers go to war? Are all the voices the same? What are the consequences of going to war - as an individual, a family, and a nation? How have certain war narratives shaped our ideas and definitions of "patriotism?" How is that different from "nationalism?" Is every witness of war also a participant? We will study the fiction, nonfiction, and poetry written by soldiers, journalists, citizens, spouses, and children, that has been rendered from WWI, the Korean War, WWII, the Vietnam War, the Iraq War, and the ongoing war in Afghanistan. We'll try to answer these questions, and more, through our own writing - using creative forms, a book review, and a personal or analytical essay.

- Class Notes:
- Why is our species so obsessed with stories? We devour novels, TV shows, and celebrity gossip. Such things are entertaining, of course, but as with sugary foods, or sex, the question is why we evolved to find them pleasurable in the first place. Evolutionary psychology suggests our behaviors are rooted in biology; storytelling is no different. The instinct to imagine is part of human nature and based in children's play. But what advantage does Neverland offer us adults? Our direct experience of the world is limited to the self, here and now, but through narrative we are able to populate our mind with people, places, and situations utterly foreign to our everyday existence, and learn from them. For this to work, an author must first overcome the fundamental problem facing all storytellers: how to hold an audience's attention? For enduring literature, the answer involves the author's invocation of a complicated tangle of universal human experiences, which are, ultimately, still rooted in our biology. This course will examine these human universals in select works of contemporary fiction, in the hope that uncovering today's stories' ancient roots will enrich students' conception of both literature and what it means to be human.

- Class Notes:
- Every story begins with transgression: a step into a forbidden forest, an attraction that defies social norms, a stranger who arrives bearing disruptive new ideas. How does breaking the rules bring about important change in both literature and the world we inhabit? At what point does a narrative cross from the real into the mythic, and what are the consequences? In this creative writing topics course we'll examine works of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction for evidence of transgression, for characters and narrators who can't help but question the worlds they live in, and who dare to buck traditions of gender, race, history, and even the boundaries between human and non-human worlds. Students will produce creative as well as analytical work that engages with questions of transgression and the ways in which it can lead to intellectual and physical transformation. Possible readings include selected works by Virginia Woolf, Amy Leach, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Anne Carson, Angel Dominguez, Aja Couchois Duncan, Octavia Butler, Maggie Nelson, Ursula K. LeGuin, and Claudia Rankine.

- Class Notes:
- We often describe becoming a poet as "finding a voice," and that suggests the vital challenge of making art from individual experience. But in this class we'll entertain a different notion: can we develop by losing our voices and writing as characters? What if, instead of each finding one voice, we each find many voices? We'll read extensively in the history of dramatic monologue, from Browning to Bidart. We'll also read a handful of individual, modern and contemporary collections of poetry. In addition to discussing our reading, students will work from in-class exercises and take-home writing prompts in order to prepare for a substantial final portfolio of poems.

Class time will involve writing exercises, discussion of assigned reading, study of archival material, and workshops. Students will produce a substantial final project -- a work of young adult fiction -- by semester's end.
- Who Should Take This Class?:
- This class is recommended for undergraduates who have prior experience with creative writing (prose).

- From the Bottom of the Glass: On Writing and Addiction
In this cross-genre topics class, we'll examine the various addictions (to alcohol, drugs, sex, etc.) that have historically gripped American writers and their work. Why have so many of our great works of literature been produced in the throes of addiction? And why do writers and readers glorify the link between creativity and alcoholism? As the opiate epidemic takes hold in much of the United States, we as writers and readers must consider the sway of addiction that's pervaded our craft. We'll consider the most effective ways to address addiction and recovery in writing and in discussions of American literature. We'll read and discuss contemporary and historical works and will also write book reviews, poems, stories, and essays about addiction. Throughout the semester, we'll ask: what does it mean to write responsibly about drugs, alcohol, and sex? Experience with writing is not a prerequisite for this class; we welcome the varied perspectives students in STEM and the health sciences fields bring to our discussion! - Textbooks:

- Class Description:
- Fire and Rain: Writing in the Age of Climate ChangeFor the last few decades, classroom conversations about global warming have hinged on the "but what can we do" reflex, prioritizing personal action (fewer hamburgers!) as a means of mitigating pending devastation. But if we could once afford to consider climate change as a "what if," 2017 has brought us squarely into the zone of "now" - bigger floods, bigger fires, bigger hurricanes, melting permafrost that flows like lava. New eras call for new imaginings, and in this third-level topics creative writing course, we'll look to works of fiction, nonfiction and poetry that grapple with what it means to be human in our age of man-made disaster. As we study what craft techniques authors have used to incite fear or hope in their work - and consider what the role of the author is in doing either of those things - students will produce both analytical and creative works that consider the questions: how did we get here, how should we live here, and what can the future bring? Possible readings include Claire Vaye Watkins Gold Fame Citrus; Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower; Paolo Bacigalupi's The Water Knife; Nathaniel Rich's Odds Against Tomorrow; short stories from I'm With The Bears: Short Stories from a Damaged Planet; selections from the anthology Coming of Age at the End of Nature: A Generation Faces Living on a Changed Planet, Elizabeth Kolbert's Sixth Extinction, and David Gessner's Tarbell Chronicles; and poetry collections such as Peter Balakian's Ozone Journal and Catherine Pierce's The Tornado is the World.

We'll analyze and discuss published examples, focusing on such matters as the construction of the premise, the treatment of violence, and horror's special demands on point-of-view. Through these discussions and a few brief lectures and exercises, you will learn creative techniques for producing terror and awe. Then you'll practice those techniques in the genres of your choice. Each student is expected to submit a substantial piece of writing three times in the term - a short story, an essay, a suite of poems; to significantly revise at least one of them by the end of the course; and to fully participate in giving constructive feedback to others.

We'll analyze fiction that describes the immigrant experience in America as well as memoir and oral histories that challenge traditional narratives around immigration. We'll discuss the ways in which literature can not just relate, but influence history: what poetry from the 20th century Harlem barrio might have in common with short stories set on the Great Plains, how an oral history of life on the contemporary US-Mexican border might relate to a novel set in 19th century Chicago. Students will write short fiction as well as critical essays examining the historical continuities between literature and today's present moment. They will learn literary research techniques, workshop each others' creative works, lead class discussions, and attend site visits to the Immigration History Research Center.

- Class Description:
The Fiction of Family
In contemporary fiction, there is no shortage of family stories; families are nuanced, rewarding, tragic, beautiful, painful, and unavoidable entities in our lives. As writers, families are the emotional, confusing, and somewhat political micro-societies from which we emerge. They also generate a great deal of their own fictions - ancestral legends, parental anecdotes, eccentric relatives with long histories of escapades. This course will interpret the family as organism, myth, and point of origin. In our readings and discussions, we will analyze and interpret interpersonal dynamics within many different family structures - large and small, living and dead, absent and overbearing, chosen and not.
At the same time, students will learn how to draw from stories they've heard in their own families (and/or families they know intimately) for use in their own fiction writing. Assigned texts - fiction, personal essays, and poetry - as well as other modern creative media, will communicate strategies to help students negotiate memories, retell histories, and locate the "real" story in the tales that get passed down. The texts we read will explore a range of cultural, economic, and individual perspectives.
Early readings will include articles on the ethnographic study of family structures, before we move to creative works. Classes will kick off with a brief lecture, followed by discussions of the readings that focus on ways family dynamics can be revealed through scene, dialogue, tone, exposition, and more. Students will each be responsible for leading one class discussion during the term. Students will also work together in groups to examine family portrayals in "non-traditional" literary contexts: either an assigned film, graphic novel, music album, or photo project. This group work will culminate in a final class presentation. Take-home assignments and in-class exercises will also aid students in generating a final project - either one longer essay or story (7-15 pages). A few of our meetings this term will be devoted to workshops, in which students will have the opportunity to submit drafts of their essays/stories and receive peer feedback before the final due date.
A tentative list of authors whose work we'll be reading is as follows: James Baldwin, Shyam Selvadurai, Gish Jen, Edward P. Jones, Justin Torres, Alison Blechdel, Stuart Dybek, Matt Rasmussen, Luis J. RodrÃguez, Marie Howe, Sharon Olds, Eula Biss.

We'll analyze fiction sprung from real events and political landscapes, as well as creative nonfiction that takes dishonest and imaginative turns. We'll discuss the ethical dilemmas of truth-bending in fictionalized narratives of war, oral histories of nuclear fallout, and the memories of a compulsive liar. Students will write short fiction, critical essays, and things in between, learning how to charge their writing with verve and authenticity. Students will also workshop each others' creative pieces, lead class discussions, and complete additional short writing assignments.

- In this class, we'll explore how modern writers portray and re-imagine politics. Correspondingly, we'll treat politics not merely as a matter of views and opinions but as a rich source for our own imaginative writing. Reading will include works by George Orwell, Graham Greene, Joan Didion, Ryzard Kapuściński, James Baldwin, and Deborah Eisenberg, as well as a modest selection from the work of political thinkers from Plato and Aristotle to Edmund Burke and Karl Marx.

- Class Description:
- What's so Funny? Contemporary Humor in Fiction and Essays:
Students will read contemporary humorists and write creative humorous prose. This course takes a literary approach towards answering the question, "What makes something funny?" Students will perform close readings of humorous texts, including work by David Sedaris, Julie Schumacher, and the short stories of B.J. Novak. We will be omnivorous in our approach, learning from the work of everyone from prize-winning authors to stand-up comics. We'll develop a set of terms to discuss humor (irony, satire, joke timing, etc.) and apply these terms in discussion of published works, using literary analysis to understand why a piece works (or doesn't) and what makes it funny. Learning through example will be at the heart of the class, and we will read works that range the full spectrum of humor writing, showcasing droll wit, deadpan non-sequitur, hyperbole, the absurd, and more. Through a process of emulation and imitation, students will write and revise essays and short pieces of literary fiction with a humorous slant. Class time will consist of discussion of readings, instruction of humor techniques, writing exercises, and peer review (writer's workshop). By the end of the course, students will have experimented with a variety of forms of humor writing, have developed a set of terms that can be used to discuss and understand humor, and will be equipped with new ways of answering the question: What's funny? - Textbooks:

- EngW 3110 Topics in Creative Writing: Long Stories and NovellasIn this discussion based class, we will read work by a range of authors, from Henry James and Thomas Mann to Alice Munro and Deborah Eisenberg in an effort to examine these less familiar forms of fiction writing. What are the differences between them and the forms of the novel and the short story? What do these differences contribute to the reading and the appreciation of literature? Students can expect to write three pieces of between 2000 and 4000 words each, one of which will be revised and submitted as a final project. One of the three pieces can be fiction. There will be a workshop component to the class, where students will discuss their work in groups with their peers.

- Class Description:
- This course will focus on Minnesota poets (defined by residence in the state past or present) and on student writing. We will read a variety of poetry collections by current and former Minnesota poets and welcome some of them to class for group conversation. We may begin by reading some such well-known Minnesota poets as Robert Bly, John Berryman, and James Wright. Then, we will concentrate on more contemporary writers, such as Patricia Kirkpatrick, Alex Lemon, Jim Moore, Tim Nolan, J. Otis! Powell, Matt Rasmussen, Joanna Rawson, and Joyce Sutphen, among others. Where possible, we will combine readings with classroom visits by the authors. Students may expect to learn about the state of poetry writing in Minnesota today (with the exception of Slam and Rap poetry, as there are courses taught by other instructors on those genres). There is a strong reading component to this course in addition to a significant workshop component.

- Class Description:
- In this course, students will explore the intersection of photography and creative writing, crafting complex and nuanced narratives both inspired by and incorporating photographs. We'll read creative essays, poems, short stories, as well as innovative instagram essays. Students will use these materials to explore the myriad of possibilities that occur when we marry image and text and the ways we can use these tools to tell compelling stories. No photography experience or special equipment is required, although students will need a phone or point-and-shoot camera for image-gathering missions we will take during class. Students will write short personal essays, flash fiction, and poems using photographs as inspiration. We'll toy with time, resurrect the past, juxtapose startling ideas, and investigate news ways of seeing. Students will write from family pictures, iconic historical images, and photographs they capture themselves. We'll also experiment with methods of storytelling that incorporate both language and image as students compile multi-media projects such as photographic essays. By combining mediums, students will learn to sharpen observational skills, convey detail, and achieve emotional resonance among viewers and readers. This course is designed for students of all disciplines with an interest in writing and/or the visual arts. Expand your passion for photography and creative writing, or find a new love. By the end of the three-week session, students will be well acquainted with the creative possibilities that arise when we combine image and text and will have gained experience merging imagination, memory, and aesthetic sensibility to render powerful narratives.

- Class Description:
- Many amazing pieces of writing do not belong to a single identifiable genre - poetry, fiction, memoir, journalism, comic, etc. They bend the rules or combine them, they ask us to think outside of the boxes of literature, sometimes they even reach beyond the disciplines of literature and into art, music, politics, philosophy, film, and more. In this class, we will explore both as audience and author the limitless fields of possibility in working with text, including but extending beyond familiar print and digital forms for writing. In so doing, we will also continue to press the questions of genre: What is a poem? What is prose? How are they different? What forms best suit which content and why? What is and is not a book? And who decides? We will consider work by Anne Carson, Susan Howe, Kurt Schwitters, Stephane Mallarme, Joe Wenderoth, Patricia Lockwood, Tom Phillips, Art Spiegelman, Danica Novodgroff, Haryette Mullen, and many more. We'll be working with forms as diverse as the telegram and the board game and the sonata, and we will work with the Minnesota Center for Book Arts to create literary art objects, as well as working with Tumblr and Twitter, among other digital forms and occasions. Come prepared to play rigorously and intelligently with texts of all kinds.

- This course examines various forms of memoir writing--through the lens of Minnesota writers, as defined by birth in the state of Minnesota or residence in the state (past or present). We will read writers such as Tim O'Brien, Cheryl Strayed, Kao Kalia Yang, and others. Studying Minnesota memoirists also offers the opportunity to meet some of them in person and to pose questions about the book of theirs that we have read, as well as to hear them describe their writing practices. My aim in bringing authors to class is to give you a chance to hear how living writers develop and sustain their writing lives. This may give you the inspiration and courage to pursue such a life of your own. Class time will be spent on reading and discussion until mid-November. After that, we will read and consider the writing that you bring to class--in a workshop style format. There are no formal examinations for this course. Your grade will be determined by three factors: attendance 25%; participation in class discussion 25%; written work 50%.

- Summer is a time for the mind to wander. In this class, students will use their wandering minds as observational tools to fuel their writing. We'll read excerpts from The Art of Travel by Alain de Botton, On the Road by Jack Kerouac, Marco Polo Didn't Go There by Rolf Potts, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, Are you Experienced? by William Sutcliffe, and Behind the Beautiful Forevers by Katherine Boo. We'll analyze the archetype of the traveler and the visitor in popular films like Lost In Translation, Under the Tuscan Sun, and The Motorcycle Diaries. Students will use these texts to answer the question: Who are we when we are not home? Students will write short personal essays and flash fiction pieces in class and at home. These assignments will help students explore the relationship between self and place, travel and discovery. Much of the class will be spent on observational missions--we'll travel to places like the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, the Butterfly Museum, Linden Hills, and Minnehaha Falls, where students will be asked to engage with the setting and pick out details, voices, and images. We'll collect these observations and use them for in-class writing exercises. This class is designed for students of all majors and disciplines who want to travel, or have traveled; students who wish to see the world and be able to communicate what they've seen to others will find this course useful. By the end of the three-week session, students will be well acquainted with destination stories, travel blogs, magazine articles, and essays that make use of the outside world and the journey that gets us there and back.

- This course is devoted to reading works in all three literary genres that employ the first person voice. We will seriously consider long and short examples from poetry and fiction, but the heaviest concentration of readings will be from forms of literary nonfiction (primarily memoirs and personal essays). We will address questions about this narrative voice that comes in for so much criticism?and curiosity (Is the first person voice inevitably self-absorbed? How do you get the authority to narrate from the "I"?) This is primarily a literature course and not a workshop.

- Class Description:
- This course is a printed distance learning section (known as a correspondence course) offered through Online and Distance Learning, College of Continuing Education. You will work independently, not as part of a student group. Visit "Class URL" for ODL policies, including fee and financial aid restrictions. Journaling into Fiction, like all creative writing courses, can't be taught. I can start you on the way toward developing the craft of writing for a public audience, but your own love of reading and writing will be the most important impetus for your success. The other important thing you'll need is a passionate belief that you have something so exciting, interesting, and valuable to tell the rest of us that you will forge a pattern of words to make us pay attention. If you're not keeping a journal at the moment, start one today. This course is designed to work from your journals so if you're not keeping one, many of the suggestions and exercises won't make as much sense to you.

- In this course we will explore the horror genre, reading a wide selection of scary stories by Edgar Allen Poe, H. P. Lovecraft, Shirley Jackson, Thomas Ligotti, Stephen King, and more. To contextualize these readings, we'll also watch horror films and dabble in theory about slime, ghosts, and decay. We will ask, how does horror writing comment on the weird states of contemporary society, and how can we use the weird and horrific to write stories and poems that resonate as "real"? All of our reading and discussion will be centered around the course's most important activity: writing horror of our own. Fiction writers and poets welcome.

- Topics specified in Class Schedule.
- Class Description:
- The novel and the short story have traditionally been rooted in two narrative sources, among others: portraits of people, and of places (which is why many stories involve journeys and road trips). We'll be reading and discussing some recent novels and stories during the first half of the semester in which the art of portraiture--getting a person, alive and breathing, on the page--is central to the story. In the second half of the semester we'll be discussing settings, and a character's incursion into a particular setting, and what happens when someone who is foreign to a place, and to its people, arrives in a place where s/he may not belong. I will be asking for a combination of critical and creative responses.
