LW402 Advanced Poetry Workshop 3CR

In this workshop, students write, revise, and discuss their own poetry in peer critique workshops to sharpen poetry writing skills beyond an introductory level and examine how their own poetry is situated in the context of contemporary poetry. Guided by peer critique and instructor feedback, they assemble a final collection of poetry, exploring how their poems intersect with their major. Students also delve into a wide array of published poetry to deepen their understanding of poetry, compose a statement of their aesthetics, gain experience as editors, and write a critical study of some poets in relation to their own aesthetics. Finally, as a collective, students share their poems in public and in a compilation of selected poems and art.
