This is a course 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 Mondays for lectures about the elements of poetry and fiction, in-class exercises, poetry and fiction readings, and tests. On Wednesdays and Fridays small group sections will meet to discuss the assigned material students have read and the original work students have written.
