English 219CW - Topics in Creative Writing: 'Cosmic Writing'

This creative writing course expands language to cosmic proportions. Reading and writing poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and other genres, we will bring the cosmos into our words alongside writers and artists whose works create a total experience, building worlds at multiple scales. Zooming in and out of our bodies and across time and space, we will write in alliance with spirits, animals, astrology, ancestry, and the elements. Authors and artists may include Etel Adnan, Octavia Butler, Henry Lefebvre, Gloria Anzaldúa, Davi Kopenawa, Kamau Brathwaite, Jennif(f)er Tamayo, and Ana Mendieta.

Prereq: ENGL-201.
