WRT 661 Advanced Poetry Writing

This is an advanced poetry workshop, which assumes that students already have experience writing poetry and critiquing one another’s poems in a workshop setting. Students will be expected to read and respond to contemporary poetry, along with texts on prosody and poetic theory, while developing their own style and stance. While formal assignments will be given weekly, to encourage experimentation, all student writing will be welcomed into the workshop. By the end of the course, students should have produced enough material for a chapbook (20-24 pages of poetry), and researched publication options. Prerequisite: WRT 561 or permission of instructor. Fulfills 600-level writing requirement. May be taken more than once for credit.
