The Hermit Crab Essay

Like hermit crabs finding different vessels to use as shells, essayists can repurpose different forms to tell their stories. In this class, we’ll look at unique hermit crab essays in the form of rejection letters, lists, quizzes and more, and discuss how to choose the best form to suit your essay. We’ll also experiment with writing our own hermit crab essays and discuss them in class.

All students must be 18 years of age or older.
