This course is open to writers of all genres and skill level\, 18+.  \nStudents will leave this class with:\n\nA first draft of an essay that engages with a work of art\nAn understanding of how ekphrasis can be used to break through writer’s block\nConcrete strategies for blending research with personal stories\n\n\nJehanne Dubrow is the author of three books of nonfiction\, ten poetry collections\, and a craft book.
