ENGL 2017: Introduction to Poetry

In this course, students will develop their identities as writers and readers of poetry. Taking an exploratory approach, students will examine and write poetry that defies genre, poetry that reimagines historical forms, and poetry that enacts embodiment through rhythm and sound. Although this course is firmly grounded in poetic craft, the tools students learn in this class extend beyond poetry, allowing students to become better readers and writers as a whole.
