This brief course, on two Saturdays one month apart, is for students who wish to devote themselves to becoming a writer. It is not so much for those who want to become "a writer" per se, but rather for those who have something important to communicate. Writing in the service of a goalinvolves the development of certain skills, disciplines, and knowledge-and perhaps other, less tangible, but even more important capacities. This course is intended to serve those who wish to commit themselves to the labor and life of writing as not only an intellectual and artistic discipline, but also, in some sense, a spiritual path, a sustained engagement with the deep mysteries of language and creativity.
