ENGL 3098

This course provides students with an opportunity to write and workshop poems and to develop skills as poets. Students receive peer feedback on their original poems in a workshop environment and explore poetic technique and tools such as metaphor, simile, enjambment, assonance, alliteration, and rhyme. Various skills are developed through the sharing of individual and collaborative expression, and the understanding of the movement from first draft to a poem that one feels ready to share toward publication. Students learn from instructors who have both current knowledge of creative writing theory and current, practical publication experience.
