Join essayist Randon Billings Noble for an exploration of the lyric essay. What makes an essay “lyric”? What are the benefits of using imagery and intuition to explore a line of thought instead of narrative and exposition? In this session we will discuss the possibilities and pleasures of the lyric essay. We will read short examples, look at some of the forms a lyric essay can take, consider the ways form intensifies content, and do some writing. Participants will leave with ideas for lyric essays as well as a list of places to read and publish them.
