Intermediate Poetry Writing

Intermediate Poetry Writing is an Interdisciplinary Arts class taught by Paul Jenkins. Instructor permission is required for this course.

Course Description
Intended for Division II students who have begun writing poetry on their own or have some familiarity with contemporary poetry, this course will be conducted as a workshop in which students' own writing will be the subject of discussion. Over the course's first half, students will do assigned writing and reading designed to sharpen alertness to language, sound and line, and imagery. Over the last half of the semester, students will bring on a regular basis new work of their own devising. At the course's end, workshop participants will be expected to submit a group of poems in a state of near completion for evaluation. Instructor permission required.
