Writing is often a solitary experience — but it doesn't have to be! Taking inspiration from an array of literary duos, students in this generative 6-week class will write across genres together: in pairs, in small groups, in person, and online. We'll dig into skillful examples of collaborative writing, play surrealist poetry games, and workshop a full-length essay. Bring a friend (or make one in class) and delight in the surprise of collaborative writing!
Readings may include:
“Letters from Two Gardens” by Ross Gay and Aimee Nezhukumatathil
“I FEAR WE HAVE MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE” by Christopher Citro and Dustin Nightingale
“Interview with a Comic Strip Diva” by Denise Duhamel and Maureen Seaton
