LIT 123 FIRST
POETRY WORKSHOP PROF.
ROBERT KELLY
TUES/THURS. 11:30 AM – 12:50 PM OLIN
101
This workshop is for 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.
Registration
for this class will be taken in August. Candidates must submit portfolios via campus mail to Prof.
Kelly by 4:00 pm on Friday, August 22nd.
