In this afternoon course, we will consider the kitchen from two stylistic vantage points. The first will be a sensory approach where we will consider all the physical details that create a fully inhabited scene. We will focus on how to imbue descriptions with a psychological center. The second, will be a cerebral/expository approach where the mind is in charge of considering the kitchen from the unique, peculiar ways we observe the world intellectually. We will focus on how observation and reflection--the act of turning over, whittling down, deconstructing--performs an individual's process of discovery for the reader.
