ENGL4577

Writing Workshop: Poetry

The course will provide an introduction to poetry writing as a discipline and craft by encouraging students to practice writing in a variety of modes. Students' own poems, from both open and directed writing assignments, will become the main text for this workshop, in addition to some models provided by the instructor for discussion of prosody and technique. The workshop critiques will focus on strategies for revising early drafts, and a chapbook of finished poems will be due from each student at the end of the semester. No application process.
