This graduate poetry workshop requires students to submit one poem per week as the quarter progresses, and then to assemble the quarter's work into a final portfolio to be submitted on the day of the last class meeting. This portfolio may contain all first drafts but must contain all final drafts. Not all poems will be discussed in class. Professor will bring in topics and texts for study, as suggested by the poems produced by students. Students will be expected to 1) attend regularly 2) contribute to discussions (being, as Larkin says of talking in bed, "not untrue and not unkind").
