You will make a group of at least twenty poems, arranging them in a sequence, with a mind to place it in a larger portfolio of your CCS writing. You may add to poems that you have already written or write all new poems. In the first three-fourths of the quarter, you will hand out copies of your poems as you write and revise them, and we will go over them in class. Late in the quarter, each of you will print proofs (computer printouts) of your sequence, copy-edit one another's proofs, and then (each of you) make a simple chapbook. Before the first class meets, think of what your sequence will be and describe it in a note. Here are three examples mentioned by poets: William Carlos Williams: "I am at the moment involved in making not more than 10 poems using Brueghel's paintings as models…." Pictures from Brueghel. Theodore Roethke: "I grew up in and around a beautiful greenhouse owned by my father and uncle [in Saginaw Valley, Michigan]. What the greenhouses were to me I try to indicate in my second book, The Lost Son." Elizabeth Bishop: "Is it lack of imagination that makes us come / to imagined places, not just stay at home? / Orcould Pascal have been not entirely right / about just sitting quietly in one's room?" Questions of Travel. Instructor(s): John Wilson Time(s): Mon. and Weds., 10:00 - 11:25 am Place(s): Bldg. 494, Room 143 << Back |
