Writing Poetic Memoir Washburn University EN199 EN399 Summer First Session Online
EN199/399: CW Poetic Memoir. This special topics
creative writing class explores mixed-genre/contemporary form examples from
writers who use verse, prose, image, appropriation, experimentation, and form
to "show" their autobiography/memoir. Students will write their own
poetic memoirs inspired by these examples. No previous creative writing experience necessary.
There are three small projects that, after advice for and time given to revisions, become a final portfolio.
Please ask your advisor to see if this can fulfill a Gen Ed requirement or an upper-level course requirement for your major.

No experience is necessary for the course. We will use the book Family Resemblance: An Anthology and Exploration of 8 Hybrid Literary Genres for examples and writing strategies.
Really, these examples set a launching point for students to write their own poetic memoirs, coming up with three small projects to help launch larger projects to move forward with after the class is over.
The course is designed so you can approach your writing with whatever major you are, your interests--your life!
