This course gives experienced poets a community of inquiry in which to workshop poems and consider issues in contemporary poetry. We'll consider each author’s poems individually while also taking a broader view: How do the poet’s writings fit together toward a possible manuscript? What attitudes and beliefs about poetry inform this poetry? Each meeting will include some in-class writing as well as discussion about the nature and value of poetry.
Prerequisite: Writers in this course should be advanced poets who've taken at least one or more rounds of the intermediate workshop or the equivalent. To apply, please email three to five poems and a brief history of your workshop experience to [email protected].
