Text and Image

This course emphasizes YOUR creative curiosity and expression and offers you the chance to engage in three modes of short-form prose in response to photographs. The modes will be micro fictions, prose poems and vignettes. These will be miniatures with a max count of 2-pages each. Images used in the course will be a combination of ones assigned to us, ones we discover and ones we create ourselves. No photo equipment or previous experience with photography will be required. Course material will include the history of the prose poem, questions around ekphrasis as a literary practice and the work of a selection of distinguished photographers.
