LW320 Poetry Workshop 3CR

In this course, students write, revise, and share poems as a community, experimenting with new subjects and forms-and ways of responding attentively to classmate’s poems. Students assemble their original poems into portfolios to demonstrate their command of imagery, diction, stanza, line, voice, form, prosody (sound and rhythm), and other aspects of richly dynamic poetry. Additionally, they consider published poetry to explore what effect it can have in the world and to learn key elements of poetic craft, which is discussed as culturally situated and driven by the poet’s identity, aesthetics, values, and intentions.
