Literature 123 - First Poetry Workshop

Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

This workshop is for students who desire to learn the discipline of creating works of art and experiment with making their own writing a means of learning about literature and poetry. It stresses growth in the student's work; individual awareness of activities, rhythms, and tellings that are possible in poetry; and an understanding of how poets go about learning from their own work. The focus is the student's own writing, along with the articulation (private and shared) of responses to the writing of others. Readings in contemporary and traditional poetry develop familiarity with poetic form, movement, and energy. Attendance at poetry readings and lectures is required. Open by permission of the instructor; a writing sample is required.
