Creative Writing 224 - Poetry Studio I:Awakenings and Connections

Institution:

Reed College

Subject:

Description:

Full course for one semester. According to Lucille Clifton, "Poetry began when somebody walked off a savanna or out of a cave, looked up at the sky with wonder and said, 'Ah-h-h!'" In this introductory poetry studio students will engage in writing exercises designed to help them strengthen their poetry writing skills. We will read, listen to, and analyze poetry written by nationally recognized authors in an attempt to find a common critical language that we will use while discussing student work. To that end, students will write poetry, both in and out of class, and will workshop that poetry with their peers. Enrollment limited to 15. Prerequisites: a writing sample of three to five poems and consent of the instructor. Conference. Not offered 2009-1
