Writing Intimacy

Writing Intimacy and Sex: This multi-genre class will explore writing about sex and intimacy. In what ways can we embrace the sensuality of our prose, poetry. Can we plunge into the depths of our psyches and stories by writing about topics like sex, sexuality, bodies and intimacy? We will talk about these subjects, both in literature and philosophy and write about them together. Bring your stories and your curiosity!
