Six Essays in Seven Weeks
Seven Thursday Sessions
10:30-12:30pm EST
Dates: 1/20 – 3/10 (OFF 2/3 & 2/17)
This seven week course takes its premise from the belief that at the heart of any literary essay is an unaswerable question. The form famously takes its name from the French verb meaning “to try”–for this reason, while finishing an essay takes patience and clear-minded revision, it can be extremely effective to generate first drafts of essays quickly, without overthinking. By the end of the session, students will have six essay drafts and a wealth of feedback from which to revise and polish.

Amanda Parrish Morgan
Amanda Parrish Morgan is the author of STROLLER (Bloomsbury 2022), of which The New Yorker wrote “the central strength of the book is not comprehensiveness but the way the stroller, and Morgan’s experience of her own strollering years, become an omnidirectional magnet, pulling disparate material into friendly proximity.” Amanda’s writing has appeared in The Rumpus, LitHub, Guernica, The Millions, n+1, Electric Literature, Carve, The American Scholar, The Ploughshares Blog, JSTOR Daily, The Washington Post, Real Simple, Women’s Running and ESPNW.
