NEW CLASS FOR SPRING 2018!
FINA 3995: Investigation of Special topics - WRITING ABOUT THE ARTS
Now, all writing - all the arts - are a form of 'Pay attention to me,' but there's also the flip side. Like, I want to give something. Let me entertain you, let me amuse you, let me try to please you with this thing I've made. And then pay attention to me.
--Jonathan Ames, New York Press
