Section Information for Spring 2015

In this workshop we will give close attention to your poems, and will read and discuss a variety of poetic forms and practices.  You will be asked to read widely, to try your hand (and ear) at a range of styles, forms, and poetic concepts, and to give and receive crticism in a spirit of exploration and good will.  Requirements include two portfolios of original poems, some short analytical prose, active classroom participation, and attendance at poetry readings.  Other events--such as reading for all 400-level creative writers, a museum excursion, or a studio visit to the School of Art--will be explored and may be required.

ENGH 494 001 is controlled. Please email instructor at stichy@gmu.edu for permission to enroll.
