Join Manuel Iris, a Mexican-born American Poet, current Writer-in-Residence of the Cincinnati and Hamilton County Public Library, and Poet Laureate Emeritus of the City of Cincinnati, Ohio (2018-2020), beginning May 20 for 3-week virtual course.

It has been said that all literature is trying to respond one single question: Who am I? A writer needs to respond to this question as a human, and as a writer. This course will try to help with the second part.

In this course, students will reflect on their creative philosophy, asking questions like: why do I write? For whom do I write? How is my writing style affected by my identity, personal story, and creative obsessions?
