This course is designed to help students write their own poems and
stories, as well as
provide insight into the way that literature is created by individual
writers working within
or against a tradition.  The class will meet as a large group on
Mondays for lectures about
the elements of poetry and fiction, in-class exercises, poetry and
fiction readings, and
tests.  The two weekly section meetings will allow you to work closely
with other writers in
a small group.  Students must make copies of their written work for
everyone in their
section, and should take this into account when figuring the cost of
the course.
