Advanced Poetry Workshop

This seminar-style course will focus on the reading and constructive discussion of poetry submitted by members of the workshop. It will also include an ongoing discussion of contemporary poetics. In order to establish a range of "common texts," students are asked to explore an extended list of contemporary poetry and to select four texts for oral and written response. A finished collection of 10-15 pages of poetry is due at the end of the semester.
