ENG 632 - The Craft of Poetry

Institution:

Chatham University

Subject:

Description:

In this course, students engage the craft of writing poetry through the teaching of literature and prosody. Through close readings of individual poems and contemporary essays on craft, theory, and the creative process, we consider both the fine points of writing poetry and the larger issues of writing as it relates to politics, publishing, influence, voice, personal and social responsibility, and ethics. Writing assignments will vary, some creative and some critical, focusing on either the reading or theoretical issues raised in class. Students should be prepared to read intensively and to consider the assigned readings, rather than their own writing, to be the center of this course.
