CW 283 - Poetry Writing: Form and Craft

An introduction to poetry writing and poetics. How and why are poems shaped the way they are? What should be “read into” that shape? And what is the tradition of forming poems on the page? Student writing, as well as issues of craft and technique, will be discussed in class and in individual conferences. Some experience in writing poetry is preferred, but not essential.
