Poetry Concentration 300 - POETRY CONCENTRATION CAPSTONE

The undergraduate culmination of concentrator’s work in poetry, this course features a rigorous immersion in creative generation and revision. Student poets write a chapbook manuscript with thematic and/or stylistic cohesion (rather than disparate poems, as in prior workshop settings); students who choose one of the other strands—translation, teaching, book arts, or writing about poetry—complete a project beyond the scope of prior coursework in their area (with additional oversight/advice from faculty with relevant expertise, when necessary). Class is run as a seminar, and includes discussion of the reading, student presentations, and peer critique. Prerequisite: PYX Gateways: 140 & ENG 112.

Instructor Permission. Not open to first-years, sophomores
