This course emphasizes creativity through practice. In the belief that reading leads to writing, we will discuss in class poems and lyrical essays, then I will provide writing prompts rooted in what we have read. The goal is that the writing you begin in class will become the groundwork for new poems and lyrical essays. Thus, we will explore multiple ways to construct new work: borrowing tactics or structures from the poems and essays we read; playing with the dividing line between poem and essay; using a writing notebook as a tool in everyday life to track what you read and tease out new possibilities for material. As well as building on the techniques and forms we tried out in the fall, such as anaphora and the ghazal, we will also examine what poetry can offer the essay and vice versa. Together with a range of poetry, we\u2019ll also look at cutting-edge practitioners of the lyrical essay, such as Annie Dillard, Susan Briante, and Robin Coste Lewis.<\/P>
