W103 is an introduction to the writing of poetry and fiction.=20
Students will attend a weekly lecture designed to introduce them
to aspects of craft in poetry and fiction, and also meet twice
weekly in discussion/workshop sections, which are taught by
associate instructors. Students will be asked to attend all
sessions regularly, to read and write about poetry and fiction
from the course texts, to write creative exercises, and to fully
draft at least four poems and a full short story. Although exams
will be given based on the poetry and fiction units covered in
Monday lectures, the major focus of the course will be on the
student's own writing and original creative work. Probable
texts: J. D. McClatchy, THE VINTAGE BOOK OF CONTEMPORARY POETRY,
James Pickering, FICTION 100 (7th edition).
