ENG 691: Creative Writing Seminar: Poetry
Day: ; Time: ; Room:
Instructor: Jill Allyn Rosser
Course Description
We will read five contemporary books of poetry that have appeared within the past year. Among your assignments will be publishably thorough reviews of at least two of them. Initially our class discussions will focus on student work and assigned texts equally, though by mid quarter we'll tip the balance in favor of poems generated by the class. I'll inflict occasional exercises to which I'll insist on strict adherence. I will also require a minimum of eight new, never-before-typed poems from each student, and a major revision of one of them, also to be shared with the class.
