Course Description

For Capstone option, contact advisor Mary Moore.

In this generative writing workshop, we will look at many different styles and forms of creative writing inspired by art in other genres and/or mediums. We'll work with the Mizzou Museum of Art and Archaeology, and learn to tell better stories through collaborative-learning and constructive critique. The authors we'll read include Roxane Gay, Carmen Maria Machado, Hanif Abdurraqib, Hua Hsu, Terrance Hayes, Michelle Zauner and many more. By the end of this course, students will have better sense of where their own creative writing and creative interests fit in the current landscapes of publishing and contemporary art.
