In today’s world of short attention spans and shorter quantities of free time, many of us feel drawn to writing and reading short pieces. In this class we will examine very short forms of creative nonfiction and try our hand at writing a few of our own. Please bring index cards or similarly sized slips of paper as well as a notebook or other writing materials.
