REQUIRES PERMISSION OF THE INSTRUCTOR. OBTAIN AUTHORIZATION FROM
BH442.
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,
with a cover sheet listing your name, e-mail address, and a list of
creative writing courses
you've taken, to my mailbox in BH 402 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 442. After you have been approved,
contact the Undergraduate
Secretary in BH442 for an on-line authorization.
Texts: 5 books of contemporary poetry, to be announced.
