Intermediate Poetry Writing Workshop

Catalog description

This course is the second step in the creative writing sequence for poetry majors and helps students develop as both poets and critical readers of poetry. Students will substantially explore and practice methods honed by distinguished poets of the past and present, with special attention to poems' endings and beginnings, point of view, word choice, imagery, voice, and meaning. Students will regularly critique their peers' work, and they will use feedback they receive from peers to revise and improve their own writing.
