This course is a workshop in writing poetry.  Students will write and
revise approximately one poem a week, usually an exercise poem based
on the reading.   Each workshop will begin with the discussion of a
model poem from one of the required books, and students will be asked
to prepare reports on topics related to contemporary poetry.  No
tests or exams.  No auditors.  Students must make photocopies of
their poems for everyone in the class.

Text:  Five books of contemporary poetry to be announced.
