COM 211 - Poetry Writing

3 Credit Hours

In this course students study the elements and craft of writing poetry. Within a workshop setting, students practice stanza, lineation, rhyme, word placement, and other elements of traditional verse as well as explore imagery, tone, style and composition of both traditional and free verse. As students read and respond to the poems of professionals and peers, they explore strategies for revising their own poems as well as reflect on their personal writing processes. Students also investigate markets for publishing their poetry.
