CW 350 - Writers Reading Poetry Seminar


Prerequisites: CW 210 , CW 220 , and a 200 or 300 level Writing Course
Fulfills a course requirement in the Creative Writing Core Concentration
The course focuses on the slender volume and what constitutes a book of poetry (not collected or selected) written by a single author. Several books of poetry are examined through lenses such as subject matter, language, and form as launching points for discussing the relationships between poems across a manuscript. Critical reading includes essays written by practicing poets probing issues related to tone, syntax, tension, voice, lineation, etc. Such reading forms the pivot for discussion of published books and student poems. The combined classroom/workshop environment applies concepts and discussions of critical essays, published books, and poems to a group of poems written by each student. Both academic and creative writing are required.
