Writing and Borders

1 Course Unit

Many writings are influenced by crossings, borders, and war. But many of these writings also exceed the limits of form: the drive to put down experience in poems spills out into prose, and vice versa; the borders of poetic form seem to be incapable of holding or transferring experience into language. Students will explore their own experimentations across borders. To learn more about this course, visit the Creative Writing Program at https://creative.writing.upenn.edu.
