This course is designed to help students write their own poems and
stories, as well as provide insight into the way that literature is
created by individual writers working within or against a
tradition. The class will meet as a large group on most Mondays for
lectures about the elements of poetry and fiction, in class
exercises, poetry and fiction readings, and tests. The two weekly
section meetings will allow you to work closely with other writers
in a small group. Texts will include an anthology and collections
of poetry and fiction and possibly a copy of a literary magazine.
