First Poetry Workshop

Professor

Robert Kelly

Schedule

Tu  Th   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. Admission will be by portfolio;  candidates must submit samples of their work before registration, with optional cover letter, to Prof. Kelly via campus mail by 4:00 p. m. on Friday, August 22nd.

Writing as Reading as Writing Part 3: Exploring Contemporary Poetics

Professor

Ann Lauterbach

Schedule

Thur              1:30 pm -  3:50 pm       ASP 302

In this course, we will examine some of the radical initiatives that followed from Modernist poetry, starting with Charles Olson’s “composition by field” and continuing through the New York School, L/A/N/G/U/A/G/E Poetries, and the reinvention of the lyric and procedural poetry among younger poets. The course will be a combination of critical and poetic work; response papers to readings, poems written by students, and responses to them. (It is not necessary to have taken either of the first two parts to take this course.) Enrollment is limited to 14 students. All students are welcome to apply.   (Registration for this class was taken in May.)
