Description:

J.C.Todd This course will provide a survey of craft resources available to students wishing to write print-based (as opposed to spoken-word) poems in English: figure, line, measure, meter, rhyme and rhythm. In concert with close reading of model poems, students will gain experience writing in a variety of verse forms, including haiku, Anglo-Saxon accentual verse, sonnet, free verse and prose poem. The course objective will be to provide students with the skills to explore poetic form, both received and invented, and to develop a voice with which to express themselves on the printed page.
