Name: ENWR - 312

Title: INTERMEDIATE POETRY WORKSHOP

Section: 01

Semester: Fall - 2012

Credits: 3

Description:
This course is designed to give students intermediate practice in writing poetry in a workshop environment. With the understanding that poetic form is different from formalist verse, we will explore writing poetry through a variety of traditions as well as learn some basics of prosody. Forms and traditions we will practice include sonnets, villanelles, litanies, ballads, the blues, free verse and organic form, ekphrasis, and persona. We’ll also discuss specific aspects of poetic craft such as diction, metaphor, repetition, stanza, and the line. After revising your writing, you will create a final portfolio with an artist’s statement reflecting on your process as a writer. Your attendance and participation are crucial to your success in this class.
