English 405-01: Advanced Writing Workshop (Wang)

T/TH 2:45-4:15pm, Old Main 002

This advanced writing workshop is designed to help students to start their own writing projects (poetry, story, personal essays, or mixed genres). The four books chosen for the workshop will help us understand how a writer and/or poet started his or her project with a vision and determination, how they researched and collected materials, and how they processed the raw materials and transformed them into art, and finally, help us shape our ideas and materials into workable projects through constructive feedbacks and critiques.

1. Don’t Let Me Be Lonely, Claudia Rankine
2. Drunkard Boxing, a selection of poems, Linh Dinh, Singing Horse Press
3. Break It Down, Lydia Davis
4. Circle K Cycles, Karen Tei Yamashita, Coffee House
