WRITERS' WORKSHOP FOR FIRST-YEAR

STUDENTS


The following workshop requires the submission of writing samples sent via Campus Mail to Professor Kelly no later than 2:00 pm on Thursday August 22nd.

Literature 123 First Poetry Workshop Friday 1:20 pm - 3:20

Kelly Olin 309

This workshop is intended 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 individuals'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 by permission of the instructor; samples of work in verse or prose must be submitted in advance to the instructor.
