ENGL171
Poetry Writing and Reading
ENGL171 FA
Not Currently Offered
Half a credit, a six-week course. Admission by drop/add
only.
Writing exercises on assignment. More grammar than one
might imagine. Analyzing major poems. Some memorization.
How it works: turn writing samples in to the English
Department Secretary. I'd prefer to see your poetry, but if
you don't know much about poetry, your prose will be
better. List your phone number and your box number, as well
as your name, on the sample. Class list will appear by 12
noon the next day. Buy the textbook at Atticus.
MAJOR READINGS
Poems by Stevens, Bishop, etc. Mostly 20th
century.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
One or two poems most weeks,
some textual analysis in the form of short papers.
