| A course for aspiring undergraduate writers, it heeds Robert Kelly's assertion that "poets have no hobbies / they eat everything." This workshop course helps student writers move towards the adoption of a conscious aesthetic program through exposure to a buffet of contemporary American and international poetries. Students become increasingly deliberate and articulate about their own formal and stylistic choices, learning to read their own, their classmates', and their contemporaries' writing. Class activities include conventional peer-workshops, formal exercises (imitations, collaborations), and spoken-word performances designed to transition students from the phase of innocent self-expression to increasingly self-conscious artistry. Students self-publish group web-projects based on a common theme or formal approach. Individually, they complete a portfolio of revised poems, a writing journal, and a personal mini-anthology of poetry. | ||
