LIT185 CM - Poetry Writing II

This is an intermediate and advanced undergraduate poetry writing workshop for those who wish to improve their craft as poets while broadening their knowledge of poetry. Much of the term will be devoted to weekly exercises as preparation for later “free-assignments.” 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 six thoroughly revised poems will be required for completion of the course.
