Required Texts for English 396

We have three required texts for English 396. I expect you to have purchased your own copies of these texts (i.e., not checked them out of the library). You will need to be able to use these texts all semester long. You will need to mark in them, to tag pages that are important.

These texts are

• Bird by Bird, Anne Lamott
• The Poetry Home Repair Manual, Ted Kooser
• Imaginative Writing, 3rd ed., Janet Burroway

Welcome to English 396!

Welcome to English 396! We have a great semester ahead of us. It won't always be easy, and it might be at times frustrating, but it will often be fun and interesting, and you'll be surprised about how much you will have learned by the end of the semester.

This blog is the place where we will share with each other. We'll share our ideas about creative writing. We'll start and join conversations. We'll respond to assigned readings. Make checking this blog a regular part of your week. There will be something due on the blog each week.
