CRW 211 - Writing from the Senses

This class is meant to reconnect us to the world outside ourselves, which we know originally–and arguably foremost–through our senses. Through close reading of the works of authors who capture sensory experience vividly, freshly, and compellingly, along with hands-on experiences of their own, students will learn how to ground their work in the five senses, how to conjure the senses from language alone, and ultimately how these techniques can be tools to immerse readers more fully in their work.
