CRW 211 - Creative Writing: Advanced Poetry

While a significant part of the class will be dedicated to exploring each student’s poetry through a constructive workshop approach, this course also requires in-depth critical feedback in every class and a series of annotations that address elements of craft. We will look closely at the work of established poets, especially contemporary poets, and trace lineages and influences from particular poets’ work back to their roots. In addition to assigned readings and exercises, a new poem a week is expected. As the semester progresses, students will experiment with revision and create a portfolio of poems representing their best work. This course counts towards the Creative Writing minor. For English majors, this course satisfies the C-1 requirement. For English minors, this course counts for the poetry requirement.
