Introduction to Creative Writing: Breath and Movement

1 Course Unit

Amid an intensifying climate crisis and widespread air pollution, an ongoing airborne pandemic, and the terrible refrain of “I can’t breathe” that has echoed for a decade, the politicization of breath speaks to the precarity of our time. In this creative writing workshop, we will engage with poetry, prose, and performance to study how artists and writers are thinking about breath and movement today.
