Lyricism and word choice aren’t just for poetry! When executed with
intention, they can make all the difference in a piece of prose. In
this 3-hour seminar, we will examine, through the medium of flash
vignettes, the profound impact that economical word choices and
lyrical sentences can have on a piece of writing. We will read
exemplary works by published authors who successfully measure their
words and incorporate lyricism into their prose. Students will
generate a number of vignettes based on related writing prompts, and
begin to hone those drafts using class feedback and personal
reflection. This course is designed for writers of all levels and
genres who want to generate new material and explore the flash form of
storytelling through word choice and lyricism.
