ENGL 130C

Special Topics in Poetry Writing

Provides students with further opportunity to refine their poetic craft beyond the levels achieved in 30C and 130B. Emphasizes further experimentation with meters, verse forms, and figures of speech as well as questioning the "rules" of poetry and encouraging students to blur or defy the boundaries of genre. Focal points for analysis and discussion will be poems and essays by contemporary poets of various aesthetic orientations, as well as work produced by members of the class.
