CW 560 - Advanced Creative Writing Workshop In Poetry


Cultivating the self and Self of the Poet
Credits: 4
Co-requisites: LIT 560  
Delivery mode: Online
Degree/Program: Poetry students or MFA Program Director consent
This Advanced Creative Writing mentorship offers full immersion in the craft and technique of poetry. Students write original work and receive intensive feedback in one-on-one mentorship and online workshops with the aim of revising their work in-depth. The course is tailored to each student’s specific needs and may emphasize closed and/or open form poetry, cross-genre or hybrid work, experimental poetry, long form poetry, prose poetry, and more. Students submit four packets of work (new writing and revisions) per semester. Weekly or biweekly online craft classes cover subjects such as the deep image; metaphoric thinking; the art of line break; rhythm, repetition and/or metrics; unwrapping form; and more. Students work on their thesis project unless the mentorship is an elective. Poetry students can repeat this course. Students take mentorships in their chosen genre(s) of emphasis and are only allowed to enroll in elective mentorships with permission of the MFA Program Director.
