This is a class not only on the craft of writing but also on the craft of thinking about what one writes and why. On a craft level, we will read poetry and fiction, and we will view films that examine ways in which artistic problems can be solved by re-visioning possibilities in the natural world. At the same time, we will explore how the disciplines of poetry, fiction, and film can inform one another. For this mission, we will examine texts and films that often are categorized under the label of Afrofuturism.
