REQUIRES PERMISSION OF THE INSTRUCTOR. OBTAIN AUTHORIZATION FROM
BH402.


This course is a workshop in writing poetry.  Students will turn in a
poem a week, which will be discussed in class.  The poems will be
exercises based on readings in contemporary poetry.  In addition to
students' poems, the class will discuss and report on recent published
poetry selected from the course reading list.  No tests.  No auditors.
Students will distribute photocopies of their work to all members of
the class.


Approval of the instructor is required for admission.  To apply,
submit 5 pages of poetry and a list of creative writing courses you've
taken to my mailbox in BH 442 at least one week before your
registration day.  To improve your chances of getting a place in the
workshop, submit your manuscript as soon as possible, since places
will be filled as people apply.  Those who register late should apply
at the beginning of the registration period so that, if admitted, a
place will be reserved for them in the class.  No places will be saved
for late registration.  I will post a list of those admitted on my
office door (BH 458), and give a copy of the list to the Undergraduate
Secretary in BH 402.  As soon as you are admitted, contact the
undergraduate secretary in BH402 for an on-line authorization to
register.


Texts:  5 books of contemporary poetry, to be announced.
