Is writing an act of memory or discovery? How do we craft sentences whose truths feel fresh and urgent, yet also recognizable? Lyric truth can reside in either side of this tension—the question or the answer—in equal measure. In this class, we’ll discuss the craft elements of lyric truth, which often expands language away from that of factual truth or knowledge.
