This is a course for students who are interested in exploring a variety of approaches to poetry. Students will encounter a diverse series of readings, in-class writing activities, weekly writing assignments and creative methods for heightening your abilities as a reader. Writing prompts will include ideas generated in class, along with procedural experiments, appropriation, and investigations of poetic form. Students will be encouraged to discover new territory, to collaborate, and to unhinge conventional assumptions regarding what is possible in poetry. Permission of the instructor is required.
