Western New England University

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite: A grade of "C" or better in two100-level writing classes, and junior standing or permission of chair. This course is an upper level poetry workshop, concentrating on methods of creating and revising original poems to publishable quality. The objective is to encourage imagination; to learn what has already been tried and to play with new approaches, sources of inspiration, twists and spins rather than repeating old ways; to understand and use different techniques of writing imaginatively in your own work and in analyzing creative work by others. The goal is to enlarge a critical vocabulary as well as an everyday one; to gain an ability to use poetic devices and poetic forms and to determine where, why, and how they are most useful. The workshop also seeks to increase knowledge of the historic development of poetry in the English and American traditions and to add to that tradition in your writing. 3 cr.
