This Poetry Writing course explores the art of writing poems, focusing primarily on modern and contemporary English-language lyric poetry with special attention given to traditional and experimental forms. The course may include other forms of poetry, such as digital poetry, documentary poetry, and conceptual poetry. Students will read model poems, write new poems, discuss strategies for writing and revising poems, and critique each other’s work. The workshop model of critiquing each other’s work is integral to the course with the aim to develop skills at editing, revising, and creative and critical thinking, and to produce a series of new poems.
