Aim: Advanced poetry writing is designed for students with some previous experience in writing, reading, discussing,<br />
and revising poetry and who are familiar with the basic concepts and terminology generally covered in English 252 or<br />
other introductions to writing poetry. <strong>The</strong> goal <strong>of</strong> the course is to advance each student's ability and fluency in individual<br />
poetry writing as well as sharpen and broaden his/her abilities in reading, discussing, and reflecting on poetry.<br />
Teaching Method: <strong>The</strong> course is divided into (1) reading, discussing, and writing activities from the text and<br />
instructor, influenced by group discussion, and (2) a "writers' workshop," the reading <strong>of</strong> each other's poetic work<br />
with constructive response and reflection.<br />
Requirements: Drafts/revisions <strong>of</strong> poems throughout the semester (a booklet <strong>of</strong> 10 at the end); participation in<br />
workshop discussion; a writer's notebook kept on a weekly basis at the least; weekly reading assignments from text or<br />
handout; a 3-4 page review <strong>of</strong> a book <strong>of</strong> poems by a contemporary poet <strong>of</strong> your choice.<br />
Tentative Reading List: <strong>The</strong> text, <strong>The</strong> Generation <strong>of</strong> <strong>2000</strong>: Contemporary American Poets, ed. William Heyen,<br />
contains approximately eight poems and a commentary by 31 contemporary poets, so we'll read one or two poets a week<br />
and discuss.<br />
