WR-301 Writer's Studio V

4 Credits

Writer's Studio V, like the previous two semesters, emphasizes a commitment to developing craft fluency in a specific genre, e.g., poetry, fiction, nonfiction, or other, or to developing a well-articulated cross-genre practice. However, unlike Studios III and IV, students may opt to continue working in a genre they focused on previously, or they may switch. Students are encouraged to consult with an advisor or trusted faculty member as they are making their decisions about which genre to take. In studio V, critical concerns of craft regarding the specified genre will be presented. Independent research will be supported, as well as the continuation of generative archival practices and written self-reflection. Students will also publish printed and/ or electronic books of work generated in studio at the end of the term.
