Title: INTRODUCTION TO POETRY WRITING

Section: 02

Semester: Spring - 2014

Credits: 3

Description:
This course is designed to introduce students to the craft of writing poetry.

Through reading and writing exercises, and through substantive revision of original poems in a dynamic workshop environment, students will learn the basics of writing poems. We will discuss prosody (the music of poetry) and practice foundations of poetic craft such as image, metaphor, voice and diction. We will also discuss and practice different approaches toward form, line, and stanza. 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.
