THIS MONTH: What Genre is It Anyway? A Multi-Genre Approach to Narrative with Allison Field Bell

In this class, we’ll focus on how narrative and genre work together. Each class, you’ll write a similar narrative through a new genre, moving from Flash CNF to Prose Poem to Lineated Poem to Flash Fiction to a One Sentence Narrative. In each session, we’ll discuss how the genre works and what it can do for narrative, considering questions of form and content and where we draw what lines and whether or not we should. Ultimately, the idea is that by experimenting with genres beyond our comfort zones, we can unlock something essential about the narrative at hand, find a way to write it better and truer than before.

DATES:
Friday September 25: 4-6 pm PST
Saturday September 26: 10am-12pm PST
Sunday September 27: 10am-12pm PST
Saturday October 3: 10am-12pm PST
