Creative Writing: Poetry I LAIS 301 |
|
This course focuses on reading and writing poetry. Students will learn many different poetic forms to compliment prosody, craft, and technique. Aesthetic preferences will be developed as the class reads, discusses, and models some of the great American poets. Weekly exercises reflect specific poetic tools, encourage the writing of literary poetry, and stimulate the development of the student’s craft. The curriculum includes weekly writing workshops, reading response essays, a book review and biography, a mid term exam, and a final writing portfolio. The purpose of the course is to experience the literature and its place in a multicultural society, while students “try on” various styles in order to develop their own voice.
