Course Elements

- I researched and produced poetry, screenplays, literary/genre fiction, personal essays, radio plays and persuasive/informative articles.
- I studied many forms of experimental poetry, including concrete, sound, psychogeographical, digital, collaborative and found.
- Weekly, I critiqued ten works of fiction/non-fiction and up to fifteen poems (during my year abroad).
- Throughout linguistics I researched psycholinguistics, language acquisition, phonetics and syntax.

Dissertation
- My dissertation (which received a 1st) was a 6,000-word, non-chronological prose story titled, Eating Shiva. The research that formed the style of language came from the beat generation mixed with experimental writers such as William Burroughs and Kathy Acker.
