| Description: | Who are you? This simple question becomes ever more complicated the more closely you examine it. How should you define yourself? By ancestry, hometown, gender, cultural allegiance, ethnic background, nationality, sexual preference, social class, personal history, fashion sense, career aspirations, taste in music, or by some other category? This class will examine the complexities of identity as they have been expressed in a wide variety of modern literary (and some philosophical) writings, in order to develop the advanced reading, writing, and research skills that students need in a university setting. This course will satisfy the Writing 1 requirement. |

| Description: | In our modern world, we are bombarded by images on a daily basis-graffiti artists "tag" our brick buildings; billboards line our highways; models stare back at us from the pages of glossy magazines; photos and video of injustice and violence, peaceful protest and civil disobedience, confront us on social media; vapid images flash endlessly on our television and computer screens. But what is our role within this visual culture? Are we passive spectators or active participants? How does our personal, social, or cultural situation shape what and how we see and experience the world? Throughout this course, students will explore these (and other) questions by drawing from a wide range of discourse communities and genres, including (but not limited to) art history, psychology, sociology, cultural studies, memoir, nonfiction, and creative writing. Readings and assignments are designed to enhance students' awareness of the relationship between writing and their observations and experiences of the visual world. Essay assignments will enable students to explore the visual world and their personal interest in related subjects (such as art, film, social media, and advertising). The course includes one personal essay, two expository essays, and one argumentative essay, as well as peer review workshops, oral presentation, and revision. Additionally, students will prepare for essay assignments by generating ideas and experimenting with form and style through a series of in-class writing exercises. This course does not count toward the Creative Writing Concentration. |

| Description: | The study of rhetoric, one of the original seven Liberal Arts, is perhaps more relevant today, in a world where diverse opinions reverberate 24/7 from television and the internet, than in ancient times when rhetors invented arguments to help people choose the best course of action when they disagreed about important political, religious, or social issues. How do we make our voices heard? How can we invent and present compelling written discourse. This course will introduce students to common rhetorical principles and to the disciplinary history of rhetoric and compositional studies. Assignments in this class include rhetorical exercise in invention and craft, imitations, and varied compositions, ranging from the personal to critical, from the biographical to argumentative. We will examine rhetorical principles (audience, context, kairos, exigency, ethos, pathos, logos, and so forth) that are employed, for example, not only in literary analysis but in law, politics, education, and science. We will aim for a mastery of craft and a refinement of thought. Prerequisite: Writing 1. This course does not count toward the Creative Writing Concentration. |

| Description: | For students interested in reading, thinking, and writing about health, illness, and medical care. The texts in this course are essays, journalism, and personal narratives describing the experience of patients and physicians in the modern American health care system. Readings include classic pieces by Sontag, Sacks, Ehrenreich, Hemon, and Gawande, alongside texts by writers such as Selzer, Ofri, Chen, Jamison, Khatchadourian, Hillenbrand, Groopman, Sweet, and Mukherjee. We will analyze these texts' arguments and rhetorical strategies in order to identify what makes for persuasive prose, especially in the genre of the medical humanities. Students will be encouraged to think critically and personally about their own experiences with illness and medical care. Assignments will give students the opportunity to develop their skills in writing and speaking effectively, and peer review sessions will encourage substantive revision. This course does not count toward the Creative Writing Concentration. |

| Description: | For students interested in the environment and natural sciences. This course brings together essays from a wide range of communities including biology, physics, medicine, environmental studies, creative writing and more. Readings and assignments are intended to enhance students' understanding of the relationship between writing and their experience/knowledge of the natural world. Major assignments allow students to follow, explore, and write about their own unique interest in a related subject, and include a personal essay, an expository essay, and a researched argumentative essay, as well as peer review workshops, oral presentations, and revision. Students will record and explore their own experiences of nature in short creative assignments that prepare them for the major papers. Prerequisites: Writing 1 and junior standing. This course does not count toward the Creative Writing Concentration. |

| Description: | SPECIAL NOTE: Admission by Wait-list only. Preference will be given to Film & Media Studies AND English majors/minors. Writers will explore the various elements, structure and styles used in crafting a motion picture screenplay. They will experience this process as they conceive, develop and execute the first act of a feature-length script. Writers will create a screenplay story, present an outline for class discussion and analysis, then craft Act One. Writers will be encouraged to consult with the instructor at various stages: concept, outline, character and scene development, and dialogue execution. While the students fashion their screenwriting independently, the class will also explore the general elements of THEME, GENRE, and VOICE. A more specific examination of mechanics, the nuts and bolts of story construction, plotting, pacing, etc. will follow to support the ongoing writing process. In-class exercises will aid the writer in sharpening skills and discovering new approaches to form and content. Writers' work will be shared and discussed regularly in class. Screening of film scenes and sequences will provide students with concrete examples of how dramatic screenwriting evolves once it leaves the writer's hands. Priority given to majors. |

| Description: | Music journalism is more than going to shows and chatting up rock stars. It's about applying the practices of journalism - doing deep research, consulting sources, employing sharp writing and a critical eye - to the art, craft, and business of the music industry. This course will teach you to bring musicians to life, to illustrate why what they do is so powerful or important (or, alternately, so bland and derivative). You will interview musicians and the people who make them look good (like, say, lighting technicians), dig through court records, attend shows, tackle socio-political issues, and cut through the PR to find something real. You will read writers like Gay Talese, Jessica Hopper, Kevin Powell, Shea Serrano, and Michael Azerrad, and learn about everything from backyard L.A. punk shows to the darkest corners of R. Kelly's mansions. You don't need to be a music nerd and you don't need much journalism experience, music or otherwise. Students will write short-form criticism and longform journalism, to be critiqued in workshop. PREREQ: Creative Non-Fiction Writing 1. This course does not count toward the Creative Writing Concentration. |

| Description: | In some ways the history of fiction is nothing but experimental traditions. As an elaborate explanation of what that statement might mean, this class will focus on lineages that have been purposely reactive or subversive in a way that demonstrably shapes the work itself. These "lineages" aren't necessarily linear. They skip generations or pop up in unexpected places, so we'll approach them both as movements or moments (Romanticism, Surrealism, the Nouveau Roman) and as concepts (parody, alienation, play). The course will be equal parts reading and creative writing, following a hybrid workshop-model, with the writing related to the reading sometimes closely, sometimes loosely. This course satisfies a requirement for the creative writing concentration. Reading list subject to change but possibly including excerpts or books from, for example: Fran Ross, Flann O'Brien, Ishmael Reed, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Nathalie Sarraute, Bertolt Brecht, Donald Barthelme, Georges Perec, Leonora Carrington, Renee Gladman, Jen George, Martin Eslin, David Antin, John Cage, Kathy Acker, Amos Tutuola, Laurence Sterne, Francois Rabelais, Samuel Beckett, Denis Diderot, Christine Brooke-Rose. . .

| Description: | In this craft writing course, students will examine and employ the techniques of poetry as catalyst. We will look at poetry classically designated as "political" such as June Jordan, Aimé Césaire, Amiri Baraka, and consider how those texts precipitate specific action and response in unexpected ways. Through poems, essays and film, we will study work which has cultivated large and small movements by poets such as Walt Whitman, Alexander Wat, Adonis, Anne Sexton, Paul Celan, and Ross Gay, as well as poems happening inside the collective, such as Dark Room and Black Took, and trends of fellowship from the Imagists to Kundiman. The focus of this course is collaborative and revolutionary poetry. The major question underlying this study is how strange and beautiful the poem can be with that aim. This course counts toward the Creative Writing Concentration.

| Description: | This course is designed for English majors who are concentrating in creative writing and who are interested in pursuing a long-form project (collection of stories, collection of poems, novella, novel, collection of essays, novella or novel-length memoir). The course is also open to advanced writers from outside the concentration or major, but these students will be expected to petition the instructor for enrollment by submitting a work sample of 10 pages (in the instructor's mailbox by Dec. 1, 2017). This course will enable each student to situate their work in the context of a community of undergraduate writers, as well as in the larger literary world. There are several aspects to this seminar: as a group, you will read several books on writers and writing and discuss them over the course of the semester, finding ways to think and speak about your own writerly interests and creative practices. Next, through group workshops, you will respond to the work of your peers to whom you will submit your long form project in several stages. Visitors to our seminars will include fellows and faculty from the Washington University MFA program and visiting writers participating in the English Dept. reading series; you will have the chance to interact with these visitors in a series of Q&As in which we will learn about their individual creative practices. Finally, throughout the semester you will meet with your faculty guide to discuss the evolution of your project. After each meeting, students will be expected to prepare a response / assessment of the meeting, as well as a revision plan. Pre-reqs: Students must have completed the 200 and 300 level course sequence for the concentration. Please note that this course does NOT count toward the sequence of courses required for completion of the creative writing concentration or an elective. |

| Description: | Dorothy, a publishing project-a nationally acclaimed independent press publishing works of innovative fiction-offers a one-year internship for an MFA student in creative writing. Students can apply in the spring of their first year, to begin the internship the following fall. The intern chosen will work directly with Danielle Dutton, the press's editor, on mutually agreed upon projects that take into account the intern's interests and strengths. In general, however, the internship is designed to give students a wide range of experience with literary publishing, and so will likely involve a mix of editorial tasks (e.g., reviewing submissions, writing reader's reports, copyediting manuscripts in layout), marketing, design, and book production and distribution. The intern will also have opportunities to represent the press publicly, including at the annual AWP conference (travel and hotel expenses will be covered), and his or her name will appear on the press's masthead. Interested students should submit a letter of application and CV to Professor Dutton (ddutton@wustl.edu) and Program Director David Schuman (dschuman@wustl.edu) no later than March 15 of the spring semester of their first year. Prerequisite: Completion in good standing of the first year of the MFA in Creative Writing and accepted application. |

| Description: | This craft class will examine the techniques and approaches used to create renderings of real people on the page. Our reading will be a mix of essay-length personal portraits (in which the subject is someone known to the writer) and article-length profiles (in which the subject is someone in the public arena) as well as two book-length works of portraiture (THEM: A MEMOIR OF PARENTS by Francine du Plessix Gray and BETWEEN THEM: REMEMBERING MY PARENTS by Richard Ford) and two works of biography (TWO LIVES: GERTRUDE AND ALICE by Janet Malcolm and UTOPIA PARKWAY: THE LIFE AND WORK OF JOSEPH CORNELL by Deborah Solomon). Writers of shorter works will include Edwidge Danticat, John Berger, Susan Orlean, Phillip Lopate, Jamaica Kincaid, Lillian Ross, Joseph Mitchell, Alicia Ostriker, Bernard Cooper, John McPhee, Joseph Epstein, Kay Larson and others. Students will write several short exercises leading up to two longer works, one portrait and one profile. Preference given to graduate students in the MFA program. Note: If poets are interested in taking the course, we will also incorporate works of portraiture in poetry, such as CD Wright's ONE WITH OTHERS, Edward Hirsch's GABRIEL, Tyehimba Jess's LEADBELLY, and projects can be written in verse rather than prose, exploring the intersection of the genres of nonfiction and poetry. |
