Description
Section information text: In this bilingual Spanish/English creative writing course, students will write poems, stories, and/or nonfiction pieces in either or both languages. We will examine several texts by Latinx authors as we consider questions of translation, code-switching, audience, and the political choices these writers make when writing in both languages. The first two-thirds of the course will focus on textual analysis, craft lessons, a translation project, and generating new writing, while the last third will be dedicated to writing workshops. Students also learn how to submit work to literary journals for publication. The final consists of a Chapbook (small book) of revised writing. There are no language requirements, though some familiarity with Spanish will enrich your experience of the texts. This class counts as an advanced course toward the Creative Writing minor and the Spanish minor, as well as the Latin American and Latinx Studies Concentration.
