- 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.
