Writing the Unreal
Niven, Sam
Summer 2025
"We left what we felt at what we saw,” the poet Wallace Stevens once wrote, suggesting writing involves a direct response to our experiences of reality. In this class, we’ll look exclusively at writing which takes on what hasn’t been seen, and hasn’t been felt. Through reading works of science fiction, magical realism, gothic literature, and speculative fiction, students will investigate how the unreal can still speak to our experiences and perceptions of the real. Additionally, students will get the chance to craft their own fantastical worlds through regular writing assignments. Tales of time travelers, haunted houses, unreal languages, and reimagined cities will be covered. Readings will include selections from Paul Beatty, Octavia Butler, Italo Calvino, Ursula K. Le Guin, Yoko Ogawa, and Mary Shelley.

Special Topics in Writing: Publishing Problems
TTh 9:00AM - 10:15AM
Brown, Nate
Maryland 201
Fall 2025
How are American publishers responding to the use of AI? What's with all of the book banning? Why did “Cat Person” go viral? What’s an earnout bonus?
In this class, we’ll look at the world of book publishing, taking a particularly close look at literary controversies, publishing best practices, and the rhetoric of the industry. We’ll read literary work, essays, and journalism related to the book business alongside legislation, school board meeting minutes, and court records to understand what the publishing industry is, how it works, and where it may be headed. In addition to performing and writing research, we’ll meet industry professionals and examine publishing documents like profit and loss requisitions, book contracts, and press releases to familiarize ourselves with the genres used in-house at American publishing houses. Finally, we’ll look at the local publishing ecosystem, which includes academic presses, independent publishers, literary journals and zines, book reviewers, bookstores, reading series, and more. Undergraduates at the sophomore level and above are welcome.

Introduction to Screenwriting
T 11:00AM - 2:00PM
Rodgers, Adam F
The Centre 206
Fall 2025
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.)

The Craft of Poetry: Structure And Surprise
TTh 10:30AM - 11:45AM
Snider, Bruce H
Gilman 79
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.

Readings in Fiction: What is a Fable?
M 1:30PM - 4:00PM
Cannon, Christopher; Choi, Susan
Gilman 108
Fall 2025
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.

Moulton, Katie J
Gilman 313
Fall 2025
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.

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.

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
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.

In this course we will pair plays by each author – those that stand in an explicit relation of influence as well as those that share a significant set of concerns – in order to investigate how each takes up and transform key problems in Updated description: the literary, political, and philosophical tradition for their own historical moment. Plays to be studied by Shakespeare: Hamlet, King Lear, Coriolanus, The Tempest; by Ibsen: Hedda Gabler, The Wild Duck, An Enemy of the People, The Master Builder. 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.
