ENG 231 - Techniques of Poetry

Institution:

University of Maine at Machias

Subject:

Description:

This course provides an opportunity to study poetry through the dual processes of observation and imitation, to understand how specific writing techniques produce effective poetry. Students are encouraged to study and duplicate-within the context of their own individual writing styles-the techniques employed by successful poets. Aspects of both a literature course and writing course are thus combined in pursuit of a pragmatic working knowledge of the techniques of poetry. Students will critically examine and then experiment for themselves with various forms of poetry, writing and revising both critical essays and poetry, reading and sharing their work in small writing workshop groups. Prerequisite: ENG 101 with grade of B- or better, or permission of instructor. 3 Cr
