Description:

The aim of this course is to foster your growth as a poet by encouraging you to expand the range of possibilities for the ways your poems might be made, what they might say, and how they might mean. Toward that end, we’ll spend the semester focusing on process and doing lots of reading and writing designed to get you thinking about how poems do what they do. We'll discuss various aspects of craft, explore how other modern and contemporary poets create work that is formally alive and vivid, and practice ways to both deepen/extend early drafts and develop/refine works in progress.
