Expressive Assemblage

Schedule / Update | Posted by Gary Hink
Apr 24 2010

 

      In short, composing an assemblage involves thinking and writing with your entire “three-dimensional” or “360°” perspective: personal / autobio.; career/discipline; community; entertainment / culture. (prompt: Try specifying and noticing which dimension emerges most prominent in your thinking and writing at first, through your entries.)
