This course immerses students who have already completed introductory work in poetry writing in more intensive experiences related to both the writing and critiquing of poems. Students will build upon current skills and develop their own writing "voices" while learning directly from the skills and voices of others. The course emphasizes ongoing critiques (by both the instructor and workshop students) of works-in-progress-while introducing students to the language and methodology characteristic of writing program workshops. Thus students will be expected to study and experiment with a range of styles and techniques and to continually produce original works for both written and oral critiques by both peer writers and the instructor. In addition, students will apply, in a new way, critical abilities gained through previous courses in literature and criticism. Prerequisite: EN232
