ENGL 585A -- Winter Quarter 2015

Advanced Poetry Workshop Triplett Th 4:00-7:50p 14058

An intensive poetry workshop for MFA poetry students. Xeroxes of published poems will be provided by the professor for the purposes of class discussion, often with a view toward a specific craft or thematic issue revealed by student poems submitted for that particular day, or revealed as helpful for the group overall. Special attention will be paid to the art of revision and the discoveries of thematic structure or pattern creation. Work may include but is not limited to: an ongoing reading and writing log, the production of 5-8 “finished” poems, with drafts of more. Students can expect to have their own work critiqued by the group every 2-3 weeks, and to critique the work of others every week.
