- Fundamentals of Creative Writing In-PersonConway Main Campus (opens in new tab)
-
REGISTRATION FOR THIS CLASS IS CLOSED. This class is already in session.
An introduction to and overview of the craft techniques involved in creative writing: fiction, creative non-fiction, and memoir. In order to examine these craft techniques, the class will read together excerpts from Stewart O' Nan's novella "Last Night at the Lobster," a book the class will need to get access to somehow ($5.99 on Kindle; $15.02 in paperback). Students are not required to submit their own writing for in-class workshop and critique, but some space, hopefully, will be available for such if anyone wishes to engage the class in this manner.

- Two Masters of Non-Fiction: Montaigne and Thoreau In-PersonLittle Rock Main Campus (opens in new tab)
-
THIS CLASS IS FULL. Please click the "Add to Waitlist" button below to add yourself to the waitlist.
In my judgment, Montaigne and Thoreau are the two greatest writers of non-fiction prose in the Western tradition. Profoundly original and creators of distinctive voices, each can also reach deep insights into what it means to be fully human. I think these two authors “speak” to each other; I am certain they speak to us. In this course, we will read one of Montaigne’s last essays (Book III, Essay 5, “On Some Verses of Virgil,” in the translation of Donald Frame), a work with fascinating implications for literary theory. Then we will turn to Thoreau’s Walden. For Walden we will use the Norton Critical Edition. The Frame translation of the Montaigne essay will be available online in the course materials.

This Fall, the Book Discussion class will read Thirst, a volume of poetry by Mary Oliver. One of America's most beloved poets, Oliver has been honored with a National Book Award and a Pulitzer Prize. She is a nature poet, a keen observer of the beauty that surrounds us, and wordsmith extraordinaire. In this book, written after the death of her longtime partner, she has expressed grief, but also a deep appreciation of life. Of special note are the poems she has written as prayers.
