This course guides students in a creative writing process that is engaged with place and time. Classes are held outdoors at various locations in Toronto. Through guided writing activities, discussions, assignments and writing workshops, students learn how writing grounded in and informed by territory can expand their work, adding intimacy, immediacy, authenticity and depth. Readings and techniques are drawn from literary fiction of different genres (e.g., realism, speculative, YA, fantasy), and a range of creative nonfiction. Students are invited to explore any genre.
