Course description
Through an introduction to creative writing techniques and the personal essay form, you’ll explore and develop your conscious connection to places where you’ve lived, including Toronto’s natural-urban landscape. Activities such as field trips, readings and journaling will help you find your voice and develop stories that only you can tell.
