Object Lessons: from Artifact to Abstraction

5-week online class with Lisa Ohlen Harris

September 23 – October 27, 2019

Creative nonfiction brings together the concrete and the abstract, grounding relationships and emotion in the physical world and analyzing artifact in order to excavate memory and launch speculation. Through weekly readings, instruction, conversation, and prompts, this 5-week online class will look at the use of physical objects in our writing as a launching point to memory, reflection, speculation, and insight.
