Title

First Poetry Workshop

Professor

Robert Kelly

Schedule

Mon Wed 11:30 am - 12:50 pm OLIN 101

This workshop is for new students who strongly desire to experiment with making their own writing a means of learning, both about literature and poetry, and about the discipline of making works of art. Stress is on growth: in the student's own work, and in the individual's awareness of what sorts of activities, rhythms, and tellings are possible in poetry, and how poets go about learning from their own work. The central work of the course is the student's own writing, along with the articulation, both private and shared, of response to it. Readings will be undertaken in contemporary and traditional poets, according to the needs of the group, toward the development of familiarity with poetic form, poetic movement, and poetic energy. Attendance at various evening poetry readings and lectures is required. Admission will be by portfolio; candidates must submit samples of their work to Prof. Kelly via campus mail by noon on Friday, August 25rd.
