WRI 363: Reading and Writing:Literatures of Exile and Diaspora
3.00 Credits
Naropa University
An opportunity to engage with fiction, poetry and critical texts regarding exile and diaspora, with an emphasis on the mid-twentieth century to the present time. Thematic enquiries through reading and writing engage the relationship of characters and subjects to national and regional space, terrain and borderlands, as well as questions of displacement and belonging. Aesthetic enquiries on what happens to language and the intactness (or not) of form in literatures engage a continuum of voluntary and involuntary trajectories. Readings and research provide a political, historical and cultural context for literary work covered. As writers, students create work that engage and extend the themes and aesthetics of the reading assignments.

WRI 364: Reading and Writing:Passage in Prose
3.00 Credits
Naropa University
Marking passage from childhood to adulthood provides great fodder for fiction. Often, the initiation involves a journey from home, a sexual awakening or very simply, a recognition that a larger world exists beyond that of the child's. Using childhood memory as a springboard for fiction, we write and explore coming of age stories, using as guides works by writers like Joyce, Morrison, Hurston and Kingston. Open to W&L students only, others by permission of the department.

WRI 365: Reading and Writing:Experimental Women Writers
3.00 Credits
Naropa University
Experimental women writers question the role of gender in poetic practice, while challenging the idea of "feminine" forms and, in the words of Lyn Hejinian, "rejecting closure." This course examines women writers such as Rosemarie Waldrop and Hejinian, and how they investigate the margins of their condition while participating in the center of the poetic. We explore language and meaning; the nature of subjectivity, persona, and self; as well as the feminine, the body and community. All genders welcome.

WRI 375: Writing Poetry:Wild Form
3.00 Credits
Naropa University
Jack Kerouac coined the term "wild form" to refer to poems that emerge from spontaneous, unbridled states of mind. This course extends the implications by examining poetry's relationship to archaic or primitive thought, and to the self-regulating ecosystems of wild nature. We write poetry weekly, exploring perception, intuition, clear vocabulary, and forms free of pre-set assumptions. We examine ancient poetries as well as the vocabulary of modern poetics, in order to enrich each other's poem
