Our Mortal Bodies: Writing Essays on Sex, Illness and Death (A New Class by Laura Kiesel)

In this class, we will work on developing drafts for essays that deal with intimacies of our mortal bodies. Whether delving into the details of a personal illness or injury, exploring the impacts of a loved one's death, or uncovering aspects of one's sexuality, we will discuss how to handle such topics with sensitivity, wit and grace. We will start by going over short readings on relevant topics before venturing on our own projects in the class. Please bring one or two ideas--or better yet, a rough draft or outline--you would like to turn into a powerful personal essay.
