ASRA :: Creative Writing Module


How does creative writing fit with research?  Writers must be careful
observers of the world and people around them as they create believable
stories and accessible poems.  They also use the tools of language,
invention, memory, and imagination-tools that benefit anyone in any field.

For the two weeks of this program, you will choose one form-poetry or
fiction-and develop a portfolio of writing in that form.  You will work
with practicing published writers who will guide you through the process
of creating, workshopping, revising, and polishing your writing.  You will
also read from the best of contemporary writers in your chosen area, have
the opportunity to hear from and ask questions of visiting writers,
and-best of all-work in a community of writers who are your peers.
