This class is an advanced version of the all-levels Muscle Memory workshop which explores different techniques and categories of writing about the body. For writers who have been published before and are looking for a more in-depth look at their work, this workshop will offer weekly sessions where we will discuss a specific reading for one hour and workshop 1-2 students' essays. Instead of focusing on technique, this workshop will serve more for editing purposes by exploring the ways that student work can further the narrative to get to more visceral and raw writing about the body, in physical, emotional, and psychological forms.
All work for this class should be drafted and submitted on the first day of class to allow for ample reading and feedback from peers and the instructor.
