WRI 400 - Poetry Workshop:Extending Your Voice

Institution:

Naropa University

Subject:

Description:

This workshop focuses on creating a poem of extended length. Drawing inspiration from poets working in the long or series poem form, students work with various texts including historical, cultural and contemporary. Sections of the selected works are read aloud in class to facilitate experimental writing exercises. These provide material to draw from for the weekly assignments that become the student's longer work. Informed by the works studied, students research a topic and incorporate in-class writing, assignments and discussion to create their own version of an extended poem. A final portfolio of the completed manuscript is required. Open to W&L students only, others by permission of the department.
