WRIT8310-01.Advanced Poetry.Sp17.Vandenberg,Katrina

In this course we work toward the dual goals of preparing students to successfully complete a poetry thesis and become a poet in the world. The course is set up to let students engage with course materials and their writing as working artists. Students will work on full-length poetry manuscripts as we deeply immerse ourselves in the ongoing conversation of poets across time and place, through the study of both poetry and poets’ thoughts on craft, influence, and process, as presented through craft essays and interviews.
