This class is an advanced seminar on poetic technique, including the use of figurative language, management of the line, narrative organization, and the control of verse rhythm. By making an in-depth study of several poets' work, students will gain a fuller understanding of what it means to arrive at a distinct poetic style and to develop that style over from one book to the next. Students will write poems throughout the semester and eventually submit a portfolio of revised work, accompanied by an artist statement.
