Poetry Writing Workshop

This is a creative writing course for students who wish to concentrate on poetry writing. Through lecture, discussion, assigned reading, collaborative writing projects, and in-class writing exercises, students will examine literary devices in contemporary poetry and will practice revising and editing. The workshop format will focus on analysis of poetry written by students in the class. Students will create their own work and critique the work of others. Students will prepare a portfolio of original work. In learning to synthesize the history of poetry, they will also read, appraise, and analyze poetry from various eras and cultures.
