Poetry Writing Jumpstart

Catalog description

Prerequisites: ENGL 1100 or equivalent. This course provides new poets, would-be poets, and curious non-poets with exercises, experiments, and activities to explore two questions: what is a poem, and how does one get written? Students will read published poems and examine their use of imagery, metaphor, form, and other techniques, and experiment with those techniques in their own writing. This course satisfies the English core requirement for the Creative Writing area and counts toward the Certificate in Writing.
