Title: INTRODUCTION TO POETRY WRITING

Section: 04

Semester: Spring - 2021

Credits: 3

Description:
Adrienne Rich declares in her groundbreaking poem, “Diving into the Wreck,” that “[t]he words are purposes. / The words are maps.” In my Introduction to Poetry course, we unearth the purposes of our words, mapping where they want to take us. By reading diverse poets, we explore how to craft poems that connect both emotionally and intellectually with readers. We also discuss the role of the poet in the United States and what it means to create art in our sociopolitical moment. We write, workshop, revise our poems. And we have fun! The best poems are inventive and imaginative. I encourage students to approach poetry writing with a sense of wonder and playfulness.
