READING: We'll study a collection of essays about poetry's relation to memoir, supported by an extensive series of handouts illustrating the range of memoir-based poems. We'll also contemplate work by two noted poets of different generations known for "confessional" poems. WRITING: Each student will experiment with a poetry-memoir covering key life events and concerns. During the quarter at least 10 ambitious memoir-poems should reach "finished" form (3 of these to be offered for workshop attention). Everyone will present a Progress Report around mid-term and hand in a portfolio containing a memoir-sequence of 10 to 20 poems as a final class project. Required Texts: Ted Hughes, Birthday Letters: Poems Instructor(s): Barry Spacks Time(s): Mon. and Weds., 9:30 - 11:00 am Place(s): Old Little Theatre, Room 164B << Back |
