CW 440 - Writing Contemporary Poetry
Prerequisites: CW 350 or CW 360 and a 200 or 300 level Writing Course
Fulfills a course requirement in the Creative Writing Core Concentration
The course organizes the American tradition in poetry historically, focusing on the gifts of criticism, influence, imitation, and revolution. This study is organized around various schools and styles of American poetry, primarily from the mid-twentieth century to the present, including poetry in translation. In addition to reading poetry, students will read and study texts that address issues related to the writing of poetry in the present day. The course assists students in identifying a poetic lineage for themselves and articulating that chain of influence by way of academic writing/discussion, their own poems, and in conversations about student-generated work. Both academic and creative writing are required.
