This course is a workshop in writing poetry.  Students will turn
in approximately one poem a week, usually an exercise poem based
on the reading, which will be discussed in class.  Each workshop
will begin with the discussion of a model poem from one of the
required books, and each student will prepare a short
presentation on a literary magazine that publishes poetry.  No
test or exams.  No auditors.  Students must make Xerox copies of
their poems for everyone in the class.

Texts:  Five books of contemporary poetry.

To apply to this class, place five poems, and a list of creative
writing classes you've taken, into my mailbox in BH 442 at least
one week before your registration day.  Submit your manuscript as
soon as possible, as places will be filled as people apply--if
you have a late registration date, apply at the beginning of the
period to reserve a space.  I will post a list of those admitted
on my office door (BH458) and give a copy of the list to the
Undergraduate Secretary in BH402.  As soon as you are admitted,
pick up an authorization to register from the secretary.
