HLI 227 Introduction to Poetry Writing
This course introduces students to the basic elements of reading and writing poetry. Students will divide their time between discussions of craft—analyzing the work of published writers—and the creation of original work. Through the workshop format, students will learn to give and receive criticism with precision and tact. By the conclusion of this course, students will have written and revised poems in a wide variety of styles and forms. Students will also learn to perform their poetry out loud and will engage with contemporary literary culture.
