The class will be a combination of reading and composing with a focus on critical and creative writing. Students will keep a journal of critical and reflective responses to assigned readings (annotations); comments on the drafts of other students' work, and notes towards one's own work in progress. Class time will be devoted to critical examination of work read, sharing of journals, and free writing exercises suggested by the techniques demonstrated in the texts.

This is not to say an author has to be part of a specific group to merit biographical attention; the private and public lives of all the novelists on the reading list will be touched upon, in part to further understand how a great work gets written, but also in part because many of these novelists are simply fascinating people. Prerequisite: ENG 111. Co requisite(s): ENG 115.

This course will be a close examination of poetry as a universal form of human verbal expression.

Different forms and styles of poetry will be examined as well as the different incarnations of poetry among world cultures. In addition to reading a significant quantity of poetry, students will also read critical essays about important poets and essays by poets containing their statements of aesthetics. The course will emphasize poetry deemed "accessible" capable of being read and analyzed by a non specialized audience but not to the extent of eschewing poetry that has over time been considered profound and enduring. Representative poets will be assigned, and their work will be analyzed in terms of various aesthetic, historical, cultural, political, and ethical contexts.
