Course Name : Writing the Personal Essay (Online)
Program :
Program Detail : The personal essay continues to thrive as a genre because it believes, like the poem, that individual experience deserves to be articulated, celebrated, and affirmed. This course begins by studying, for inspiration and instruction, methods used by the best personal essayists, then focuses on the students' own personal pieces. Useful "toolbox" strategies, such as active voice, sentence structure and variety, the use of metaphor, and other figures of speech are explored as participants work on drafts and revisions of their essays. No prior writing experience is necessary; all students interested in learning how to frame their personal experiences into artful prose are welcome.
