Interdisciplinary Arts 0387 - Creative Writing Concentrators

This course is designed for students working in all genres of creative writing who are completing their second semester of Division 3. The seminar will provide a supportive, critical forum for sharing and responding to independent work as students bring their projects to a close. We will also consider the question of a 'community' for writers, who often labor in private. Students may be invited to attend and respond in writing to three public readings that will take place in the spring. Prerequisites: Students must have taken at least 3 creative writing courses requiring intensive peer critique. The Division 3 project must feature a significant portion of creative work.

Independent Work In order to be considered for enrollment in this course, students should email Nell Arnold (naIA@hampshire.edu) by the end of December, and in this email describe their Div 3 project. In this course, students are expected to spend at least six to eight hours a week of preparation and work outside of class time. This time includes reading, writing, responding to peers' work, and may include required attendance at or participation in writing-related events.
