This class is an introductory workshop in poetry writing for those who wish to improve their craft as poets while broadening their knowledge of poetry. More than half the semester will be devoted to formal weekly exercises. Poems by students will be discussed in a “workshop” format with attention to the process of revision. Class time will also be spent on assigned readings and issues of craft. Students will be asked to regularly memorize and recite poems. A final portfolio of eight revised poems will be required for completion of the course.
