The essay writer is an artist and a chronicler, and during this course, we will be "those upon whom nothing is lost." This class considers how to write exceptional prose. We'll look at the use of image, voice, and language, as well as the juicy facts and details that give non-fiction power. Students will write their own prose pieces, and keep a notebook for the things that inspire their writing.
