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. (Candidates must submit samples of their work before registration, with optional cover letter, to Prof. Kelly via campus mail by 3:00pm on Friday, August 20th.)

Writing as Reading as Writing, Part I

Professor

Ann Lauterbach

Schedule

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

In this course we will read poems by some of the great American poets of the twentieth century, including Langston Hughes, Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, Wallace Stevens, Gertrude Stein and George Oppen. The work they did continues to resonate in the present. Weekly assignments will be made in relation to these readings. These assignments will take the form of a poem. For example, we might read the poems of Robert Frost, and we will take up the nature of narration in poetry (as Frost conceived it). The assignment might be to write a narrative poem. Or we might take all the nouns in a poem by H.D. and reconstrue them into a poem by you.  The goal of this class is to help you understand the relation between subject-matter and form in developing your poetics; to help you find a critical/analytical vocabulary; to help you discover ways to generate methods for your own writing practice. Weekly assignments, one term project. . (Candidates must submit samples of their work before registration, with optional cover letter, to Prof. Lauterbach via campus mail by 3:00pm on Friday, August 20th.) Open to all levels.

Translation Workshop

This course is devoted to translation not as a utilitarian activity but as an art.  We will be discussing (and practicing) many aspects of translation as well as studying and critiquing translations by others, from the staid to the experimental.  Students will work on projects of their own devising, which will be workshopped and revised. Prerequisites: Mastery of a foreign language at the intermediate level or better, and a love of English.  Candidates must submit samples of their work (original writing is fine - but if submitting a translation, please include the original!) with optional cover letter via campus mail to Prof. Bernofsky by 3:00 pm Friday, August 20th.
