The Aim
To work towards greater understanding and control of language's material presence, its referential power, and the relationships between content, form and reception.
Students will be introduced to a range of composition processes intended to stimulate frequent and adventurous writing, and will be encouraged to make disciplined and inventive use of the revision process.
They will also develop their abilities to create and participate in a fertile writing community.
