Advanced Poetry will give students the opportunity to establish a disciplined poetic practice with attention to craft, vitality and surprise. Students will hone their ability to attend to the dynamic interaction and fluency of words and syntax as well as engage in the pursuit of imaginative and evocative creative thinking. You will be expected to critically engage with your classmates' poems and to learn to approach your own work with an editorial acuity that allows for progress, which will be more deeply explored in the second term. This advanced workshop builds on the technique and craft learned in earlier classes to deepen and broaden your practice of writing poetry.
