Advanced Poetry Writing Workshop

Catalog description

Students in this course will continue the study of the craft, tradition, and the contemporary state of the art of poetry. They will explore additional poetic forms, including persona poems and confessional, pattern poems and poems as social commentary. They will read, critique, discuss, and write poems, which they will share and 'workshop' with their peers in class. Students will expand their acquaintance with poetry and its aesthetic values; engage with sophisticated literary analysis of poetry; and explore their own writing with special attention to image, form, line, meter, voice, place, and intent.
