This course is designed to respond to contemporary trends and topical issues in creative writing by focusing on specific topics, genres, and forms relative to the intersection of fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction writing. Topics may range from the traditional to the experimental (examples: Creative Writing & Performance, Cross-Genre Writing, Creating Hybrid Texts, Creative Writing for New Media, Contemporary Publishing) or focus upon a particular author or theme or purpose in creative work. This course is repeatable, as topics rotate each semester to cover material that is not included in the permanent course offerings.
