The courses listed below are provided by the JHU Public Course Search. This listing provides a snapshot of immediately available courses and may not be complete.
In this course we will explore the principles of visual storytelling in narrative film as they apply to the design, creation, and revision of the short-form screenplay. Specifically, we will focus on learning the craft of screenwriting — strategies, processes, and philosophies that writers can develop, practice, and rely upon as they progress through a series of screenwriting exercises and write a 12-page screenplay, which will be critiqued in-class during weekly table reads and with the Instructor (one-on-one) during office hours. Select produced feature screenplays will be read and analyzed — and clips from select films viewed — to further explore what works well on the page, and how it translates to working well onscreen. (Scripts and clips often selected from American films from the '70s, '80s, and '90s.) A free 18-week trial of Final Draft software will be made available for all students who don’t wish to purchase it outright for $99.)

Literary Translation Workshop
Th 1:30PM - 4:00PM
Jewiss, Virginia C
Mergenthaler 431
Fall 2025
This course is grounded in the double conviction that translation is the most intimate form of reading and that literary translation is a form of literary writing. The goals of this course are to better understand the potential and challenge of translation as we learn to practice it ourselves. We will study what translators say about their craft and work closely with a wide range of translations. There will be two parts to each seminar: --discussion of assigned readings and analysis of published translations --workshopping of our translations. Students are free to translate from any language into English. Reading knowledge of a language other than English is required.

Fall 2025
In this course, we’ll examine a variety of structures found in contemporary poetry, framing structure as strategy, a primary means by which a poet’s vision is expressed. We’ll review a range of structures including narrative, rhetorical, meditative, digressive, hybrid structures, and more. We’ll also consider structure’s relationship to both prescribed and discovered forms, discussing the possible temperamental differences between closed and open form poets, what Denise Levertov calls, “people who need a tight schedule to get anything done, and people who need to have a free hand.” We’ll analyze the effects of line and stanza, and experiment with the techniques of juxtaposition, fragment, and collage. We’ll also consider the challenges of managing poetic turns, beginnings and endings, as well as structure’s relationship to broader aesthetic issues such as poetic process, readership, and accessibility/difficulty.

Stories entertain us, but we can also receive guidance from them, and we can tell them to impart guidance to others, to exercise influence, to make a point. This course will explore the ways that stories make their points in the genre sometimes called “fable,” in works by authors ranging from Aesop to George Saunders, from the 4th century to the present. We’ll debate what fables actually are – Short morality tales about animals? Portraits of exemplary figures that demonstrate how to live? - in part by reading many examples of the form and some theories of it, in part by writing fables of our own.

This course explores the art and craft of the personal essay. Deriving from the French essayer, to attempt, students bring a sense of investigation to the characteristics, presence, and quality of ideas, cultural zeitgeist, and the human experience. Through personal narrative exploration, essayists write toward universal themes (family, loss, belonging, social justice) and experiment with modes and forms of creative nonfiction. Students will employ research, explore personal experience, and develop their own voice, style, and storytelling craft. Students will interrogate the self and the self in the world, shaping the “I” on the page. The course builds on material covered in Introduction to Fiction & Poetry and/or Introduction to Fiction & Nonfiction and will prepare students for advanced study. This readings-based course is also writing-intensive, including in-class exercises, brief creative posts, essay drafts, revisions, and workshop. Readings/models for the course include authors Seneca, Sei Shonagon, Michel de Montaigne, James Baldwin, Melissa Febos, Vivian Gornick, Audre Lorde, Toni Morrison, JoAnn Beard, Zadie Smith, Jia Tolentino, Mark Twain, and more.

Readings in Poetry: Black Poets Write History
W 3:00PM - 5:30PM
Russell, Lauren M
Gilman 79
Fall 2025
In the 2015 New York Times article “A Language for Grieving,” the literary scholar Sonya Posmentier writes, “By making violence strange and unfamiliar, very different poets like [Gwendolyn] Brooks and [M. NourbeSe] Philip have gone beyond merely repeating its effects, like a viral video of a police shooting, and beyond the realm of the evidentiary to that of the imagination, where we might not only observe violence but mourn and counter it.” In this course, we will explore how 20th- and 21st-century African American and African diasporic poets have moved “beyond the realm of the evidentiary to that of the imagination” to write about, into, and through history. Readings may include work by Robert Hayden, Gwendolyn Brooks, M. NourbeSe Phillip, Amaud Jamaul Johnson, Patricia Smith, Tyehimba Jess, Cameron Awkward-Rich, and others, including a multigenerational selection of elegies for Emmett Till. Students should expect to engage with the readings both creatively and analytically and will have the opportunity to write their own historical poetry.

Readings from writers including Kathleen Collins, Annie Ernaux, Gwen Kirby, Deesha Philyaw, and Weike Wang will inform our discussions of form and inspire writing exercises in and out of class. Students will write, workshop, and revise stories of their own. This course builds upon the ideas and themes covered in Introduction to Fiction and Poetry I, IFP II, and Craft of Fiction, and will prepare students for advanced fiction courses.

Fall 2025
This course is primarily a workshop; students will each write and workshop two short stories. Additional shorter writing assignments will focus on the management of time in fiction. We will consider how and when writers make use of time shifts within a story, how choosing the point in time from which a story is being told shapes its tone and structure, and how to move through time frames without creating confusion. We’ll also read and discuss published work that uses time in interesting ways, including writing by Alice Munro, Lauren Groff, Ling Ma, Edward P. Jones, Yiyun Li, David Means, Jamel Brinkley, Alice Sola Kim, Jennine Capó Crucet, and Virginia Woolf.

Fall 2025
In this poetry workshop, students will be required to write poems based on class readings/assignments and submit them for group discussion and critique. While the primary focus of each class will be your own poetry, analysis and discussion of poetry by contemporary poets will serve to establish models of craft as well as guidelines for effective criticism. Special attention will be paid to issues of poetic voice, the at times slippery formal element that binds the reader and the poem’s speaker together. We’ll discuss the cultivation of intimacy (or lack thereof), registers of speech, use of vernacular, foregrounding of person and/or place, and more. Ultimately, we’ll use voice as an essential tool to understand a poet’s aesthetic vision.

Robinson, Shannon L
Gilman 79
Fall 2025
All works of fiction are acts of persuasion. We invest in characters and unfolding events because we find them convincing—which is to say, emotionally authentic ... but also (or alternatively) truly compelling. In this course, we will look at how stories seek to persuade us. What risks does the story take? How are we surprised or challenged? How is the story designed—what are its load-bearing walls, its warp and weft? And how does this all combine to create meaning? Course readings will be drawn from both classic and contemporary writers. Students will write and workshop two short stories and one work of flash fiction.

As part of the course, we will try to organize at least one excursion to a Shakespeare or Ibsen performance in the Baltimore-D.C. area. This class counts towards the requirement of text-based courses for the minor in comparative thought and literature.

In this course we will explore the basic principles of visual storytelling in narrative film as they apply to the design, creation, and revision of the screenplay. Specifically, we will focus on learning the craft of screenwriting - strategies, processes, and philosophies that writers can develop, practice, and rely upon as they progress through a series of screenwriting exercises and write two short screenplays, which will be critiqued in-class during weekly table reads and with the Instructor (one-on-one) during office hours. Select professional screenplays will be read and analyzed — and clips from select films viewed — to further explore what works well on the page, and how it translates to working well onscreen. Final Draft screenwriting software is required; a FREE 18-week trial will be made available for all students who don’t already have Final Draft.

The Craft of Poetry: Structure and Surpise

Snider, Bruce H
Gilman 79
Spring 2026
In this course, we’ll examine a variety of structures found in contemporary poetry, framing structure as strategy, a primary means by which a poet’s vision is expressed. We’ll review a range of structures including narrative, rhetorical, meditative, digressive structures, and more. We’ll also consider structure’s relationship to both prescribed and discovered forms, discussing the possible temperamental differences between closed and open form poets, what Denise Levertov calls, “people who need a tight schedule to get anything done, and people who need to have a free hand.” We’ll analyze the effects of line and stanza, and experiment with the techniques of juxtaposition, fragment, and collage. We’ll also consider the challenges of managing poetic turns, beginnings and endings, as well as structure’s relationship to broader aesthetic issues such as poetic process, readership, and accessibility/difficulty.

The United States incarcerates more people than any other democratic country in the world; Baltimore City has the highest incarceration rate in Maryland, with 1 in every 100 residents locked up in a state prison. In this publicly-engaged course, students will learn about mass incarceration in the United States—its history, its dysfunction, and its current impact on the Baltimore community. In addition to reading and reflecting on personal narratives from the American Prison Writing Archive (housed at the JHU Sheridan Libraries), we will interact with organizers, activists, educators, and writers working with and on behalf of currently and formerly incarcerated people. In partnership with a Baltimore reentry program serving formerly incarcerated women, students will perform interviews and assist individual memoir projects.

This course explores the art and craft of the personal essay. Deriving from the French essayer, to attempt, students bring a sense of investigation to the characteristics, presence, and quality of ideas, cultural zeitgeist, and the human experience. Through personal narrative exploration, essayists write toward universal themes (family, loss, belonging, social justice) and experiment with modes and forms of creative nonfiction. Students will employ research, explore personal experience, and develop their own voice, style, and storytelling craft. Students will interrogate the self and the self in the world, shaping the “I” on the page. The course builds on material covered in Introduction to Fiction & Poetry and/or Introduction to Fiction & Nonfiction and will prepare students for advanced study. This readings-based course is also writing-intensive, including in-class exercises, brief creative posts, essay drafts, revisions, and workshop. Readings/models for the course include authors Seneca, Sei Shonagon, Michel de Montaigne, James Baldwin, Melissa Febos, Vivian Gornick, Audre Lorde, Toni Morrison, JoAnn Beard, Zadie Smith, Jia Tolentino, Mark Twain, and more.

The writer Bharati Mukherjee once said, "My literary agenda begins by acknowledging that America has transformed me. It does not end until I show that I (along with the hundreds of thousands of immigrants like me) am minute by minute transforming America." Transformation is inherent to the immigrant narrative, a source of both drama and tension. In this class, we'll read fiction focusing on the immigrant experience in America and examine how different writers approach the idea of transformation. Students will write both critical and creative pieces in response to these works. Texts might include work by Colm Toibin, Chang-rae Lee, Jhumpa Lahiri, NoViolet Bulawayo, and others.

Each class in this course will be divided into two halves. In the first half, we’ll look at the origins and purpose of elegiac poetry, then follow its development through close reading of examples that will range from ancient Greece and Rome through to the present day. We’ll concentrate on three poems a week, under a variety of headings: elegies for parents, for partners and loved ones, for children, for the self, for friends, for writers, for musicians and artists, for the victims of war, for political figures, for animals and pets, and for endangered places. Each poem will be introduced by a member of the class, and a general discussion will follow. In the second half of each session, we’ll look at poems that two members of the class (in rotation), will have been asked to write on the same aspect of elegy that we’ll have considered in the first half. As our text book we’ll be using The Penguin Book of Elegy, ed Andrew Motion and Stephen Regan (2024), and a copy will be provided to each class member.

Readings in Poetry: Hybrid Forms
T 5:30PM - 8:00PM
Russell, Lauren M
Krieger Laverty
Spring 2026
In this class, we will experiment in genre bending, reading and writing hybrid works that thoughtfully push past the boundaries of genre toward new ways of writing, thinking, knowing, and creating. Not strictly limited to poetry, readings may include Michael Ondaatje’s The Collected Works of Billy the Kid, Anne Carson’s Autobiography of Red, Jean Toomer’s Cane, and Justin Torres’s Blackouts, among others, and will consider influences reaching as far back as Matsuo Bashō’s 17th-century Narrow Road to the Deep North. We will nurture verse that appears amidst prose; prose that arrives as poetry; fiction that incorporates images, documents, and poetic interventions; and writing that shapeshifts across genres and sometimes mediums, defying easy classification. As writers and as readers, we will bring our training within genres to work across, between, and beyond genres.
