Course Description

This will be an exciting hands-on class, where students will regularly engage in writing exercises, in reading and discussing contemporary poems, and in writing their own poems-in-progress to be read and analyzed by the class. We'll take a very constructivist approach, always asking ourselves what effects and experiences we hope to evoke and how we might arrange the language of our poems toward this end. We'll probably use the Autumn House Anthology of American Poetry.
