Interdisciplinary Arts 0342 - Shadows and Mayhem: Writing Be

In this advanced level poetry workshop, students will explore strategies for generating new poems and revising older work, always with the intention of surprising themselves. Drawing primarily from the Afro-Diasporan, Latin American and Caribbean surrealist and magical realist canons, students will be encouraged to break free of their usual processes and practices in order to write the poems they never knew they wanted to write.

Independent Work Multiple Cultural Perspectives In this course, students are expected to spend at least six to eight hours a week of preparation and work outside of class time.
