 Course Title: Adv. Poetry & Short Prose Workshop
This workshop will help you write a portfolio of poems and/or short prose pieces. In class we’ll read and discuss poems, creative essays, and short fiction intensely; work over the drafts of our own poems and prose; write critiques of published works; study and steal the forms of poems, and the maneuvers of creative prose. We’ll give and receive helpful criticism of our work in a group setting, and in conferences with me. This workshop offers you a chance to develop the early promise and challenge of your poems and prose, and to build a longer manuscript. Prerequisites: one college-level course in creative writing (any genre), or an equivalent background, or a passion for writing. Permission of instructor required.
