English 100P - Fall, 2016
Creative Writing: Poetry
Class Information
Instructor:
Gouirand, Rae
Time:
TR 4:40-6:00
Location:
248 Voorhies
Description
In this intensive poetry workshop, we will explore what sense and semblance mean to poetry and the poem, and to a range of contemporary poets, including the ones in our workshop. Together we will read a diverse body of works in verse, develop and revise original poetry of our own, and foster a conversation in workshop that keeps us all writing our ways forward, in new and inquiring directions. Course readings will be drawn from a required text, supplemental materials, and additional self-assignments.
Grading
Grading will be based upon weekly work submitted to the instructor and the workshop, contributions to in-class discussions, and a final portfolio combining a selection of creative work and reading responses.
