Today I was teaching my #travelwriting class at #emersoncollege, specifically discussing Jamaica Kincaid’s A Small Place and Rachel Cuck’s On Marble as two approaches to #essaywriting — one with a straight narrative line with pitstops for exposition on certain topics (Kincaid), and the other a more rhizomal (in the Deleuzian sense) free association approach (Cusk). I’m curious what other forms folks like to use for the #essay out there. There’s the shell, collage … what other neglected forms?
I’m looking to expand my vocabulary a bit as I teach this course, and explore essays in my own #writing.
