ONSITE: Out of Order: Writing Nonlinear Narratives

In this generative workshop, students of multiple creative writing genres will explore nonlinear storytelling and learn how and when to effectively use this more experimental narrative style. Students will read and discuss short texts and media in class to explore storytelling using a nonlinear framework, including short films, poems, essays, and short fiction. These will include works by Li-Young Lee, Carole Maso, Anna Anthropy, and others. Students will write their own nonlinear narratives in response to structured prompts and stories/poems/media viewed in class.
