Course details

Name: ENWR - 312

Title: INTERMEDIATE POETRY WORKSHOP

Section: 01

Semester: Spring - 2017

Credits: 3

Description:
Poetry, from Homer to Lil Wayne, has been about using syllables and words as magic spells or drugs. OK, it's more complicated than that. But in this course, we will "play around with syllables" (as W. H. Auden had it) as we gain intermediate practice in writing poetry in a workshop environment. We will explore a variety of traditions, forms, poetic language, and prosodic techniques, with an eye to honing our craft and discovering our own voices and styles—taking our operating principle from Yeats's lines: "A line will take us hours maybe; / Yet if it does not seem a moment’s thought, / Our stitching and unstitching has been naught."
