Poetry Workshop
X157 (2 semester units in English)
This course is designed to help poets hone their writing through sympathetic, guided group response. Working to develop critical abilities, you both give and receive constructive criticism in a balanced, sensitive way, without losing touch with the wildness and mystery of your own creative inspiration and unique approach to the poetic form. You will also read and discuss a variety of published poems in order to explore alternative techniques and ideas that may inform your work. The goal of the course is to broaden your knowledge of poetry and its many possibilities, allowing you to experiment and stretch toward new expression.
