CLLC-L 200: WRITING FOOD ACROSS GENRES
28680 12:20P-01:10P MWF ME 008
Three times a day (and usually more), food creates the bond between the individual and the world. We will investigate the ways in which food is written and thought about and what roles it plays in our everyday and literary lives. We will read about food (poetry, nonfiction, fiction) and we will eat food and we will talk to local experts on food.
And we will write about food: stories, poems, and essays, before composing a sustained final project in a single genre. We will consider how to move from inspiration to selecting a genre to work in, and how form affects content. You will receive feedback on how to develop your writing, both from the group and from me. Open to all experience levels—we’re going to learn by doing here. Our shared touchstone will be how to make food a living, dynamic part of our writing practice.
