More Joy: Writing for Resilience

What if we joined our sorrows? What if that is joy? – Ross Gay

Following in the tradition of Ross Gay, and his new book, The Book of (More) Delights, we will focus in the depth of winter on writing about joy. Can we find joy even in our sorrows? This is a generative writing class, where most of our time will be spent writing to prompts. At the end of our time together, we will share pieces we have pulled together from our shorter writings, and thus explore the lyric essay as a celebration of the fragment and the collage.
