Title: ADVANCED POETRY WORKSHOP

Section: 01

Semester: Spring - 2012

Credits: 3

Description:
This course offers advanced instruction in writing and revising poetry in a workshop setting. Our primary focus will be on students’ own literary production—writing and critiquing poems, with occasional writing exercises as the class elects. We will read some contemporary poetry, using our discussions to think beyond the single poem and envision how poems work together in collections. We will also discuss editing and publishing, and students will give presentations on literary journals as part of the course. At the end of the semester, students will produce a chapbook of poetry and a statement of poetics as part of a capstone project. Regular attendance and participation is mandatory. Prerequisites: ENWR 312 and departmental approval. TO REQUEST THIS COURSE, SIGN UP ON THE WAITING LIST IN THE ENGLISH OFFICE, DICKSON 468. Course permission is usually granted 1-2 weeks after registration period begins.
