CRW 1301 - Beginning Poetry
Writing
-
Perhaps you've always wanted
to be a poet. You've never told anyone you scribble lines in a notebook.
You've written poems in love and poems in anger. Or you've never written
poems at all - you've just wanted to write. This workshop concentrates
on the basics of reading and writing poetry (in order to write you have
to read, and in order to be a reader you have to be a critic). You'll write
poems yourself, and some will be discussed in a workshop.
