The letter is perhaps our most ubiquitous yet least studied form of writing. Letters can be intimate or business-like, treasured or tossed out, paper-based or digital. Letters permit us to write in a range of voices and styles, and can give us a privileged insight into another person's view of life. We will read and discuss some published letters by several well known authors, and we will practice this supple art form by writing letters of different kinds.
