They will read, critique, discuss, and write poems, which they will share and 'workshop' with their peers in class. Students will expand their acquaintance with poetry and its aesthetic values; engage with sophisticated literary analysis of poetry; and explore their own writing with special attention to image, form, line, meter, voice, place, and intent.
