Title: INTRODUCTION TO POETRY WRITING

Section: 11

Semester: Summer - 2013

Credits: 3

Description:
This course is designed to introduce students to the craft of writing poetry. Through reading and writing exercises, students will learn the basics of prosody and practice foundations of poetic craft such as image, metaphor, meter, rhyming, abstract versus concrete diction, using precise language, and voice. We will also discuss and practice different approaches toward form, line, stanza, and revision. Because good writers are first good readers, our writing exercises will be paired with literary selections that we will read and discuss from a writer’s perspective. At the end of the class, students will put together a polished portfolio of work.
