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 cover letter, to
Prof. Ives via campus mail by 12:00 pm on Monday, August 22, 2005.)

American poetry at mid-century appears to shift
away from certain "high" modernist aspirations to a more local, geographical
focus; a retrenchment from formal experimentalism, at least until the
publication, in 1960, of Donald Allen's "New American Poetry." We will read poets ranging from Laura Riding
to Louis Zukofsky to Allen Ginsberg, and weekly assignments will be made in
relation to them. These assignments
will take the form of a poem. For
example, we might read the poems of Langston Hughes, and the assignment might
be to write your own "montage of a dream deferred." The goal of this class is to help you understand
the relation between subject and form—the what and the how—in developing your
poetics; to help you find a critical vocabulary; to help you discover ways to
generate methods for your own writing practice. Weekly writing assignments. One
term project. Text: American Poetry The Twentieth Century, The New American Poetry, Donald Allen,
ed (Registration for this course was taken in May.)
