Gemini Ink Workshop #5 Slice of Life: Crafting Short Creative Nonfiction Instructor: Joel Peckham In this class, we will discuss and create the creative nonfiction short with the goal of discovering its lyrical conventions and applying them to sharply envisioned slices of our own lives. During class we will discuss the most recent issue of the online journal, Brevity (brevitymag.com), as a basis for understanding what a nonfiction short is and how it works. We will then complete generative exercises designed to stimulate the creation of our own short essays. Finally, we will workshop essays submitted for the class, offering feedback intended to develop and refine these works. Students may submit up to three nonfiction shorts (750 words or less) for instructor critique. Please submit work no later than Monday, April 1.
