Understory in Personal Essay
Monday, Jan. 10, 7-9 p.m.
Virtual via Zoom

Successful personal essays transform lived experiences into literature. One way to achieve this is through deliberate structure choices, such as the use of understory—the emotional undercurrent, or arc, that propels an essay forward. In this one-night class, we will read several short-form published works, identify how authors use understory to establish emotional investment with readers, and discuss why these choices are integral to the most compelling personal essays.
