GUIDELINES FOR THE POETRY WORKSHOP, ENGLISH 070A:

Students interested in the Poetry Workshop, English 070A, led this year by Nathalie Anderson, should submit a brief printed sample of their writing – perhaps 5 poems, no more than 5 pages – to Carolyn Anderson in the English Department Office (LPAC 202) no later than Monday, October 26, at 4 pm. Please do not send your submissions via email.

The Poetry Workshop is limited to 12 members. Students who have taken this workshop in previous years are NOT eligible to apply (but WILL be eligible for the Advanced Poetry Workshop, English 070C, scheduled for the fall of 2010). Students who have taken Grendel’s Workshop (070D), Lyric Encounters (070E), or Writing Nature (070G) ARE eligible to apply for both the Poetry Workshop and the Advanced Poetry Workshop.

This is a class in which students write, read, and talk about poetry. We will emphasize the discovery and development of each individual’s distinctive poetic voice, imagistic motifs, and thematic concerns, within the context of contemporary poetics. The workshop will meet this spring on Wednesday afternoons from 1:15 to 5:00 p.m. Attending a few evening readings on campus will also be required.

The twelve students will be admitted solely on the basis of the writing sample submitted during fall semester. Final decisions about admission to the Workshop will be made by Friday, November 6 at 4 pm and will be posted on the bulletin board outside of the English Department office, LPAC 202.

Students may apply to both of the English Department’s creative writing workshops but if accepted to both may enroll in ONLY ONE per semester.

The Fiction Workshop is limited to 12 members. It will focus on the basic elements of short story writing: plot structure, character creation, dialogue, selecting details, writing great sentences, and so on. We will look at how other authors handle these elements in their work, and we will do a lot of writing, mainly exercises for the first half of the semester and complete stories for the second half. The workshop will meet this spring on Monday afternoons from 1:15 to 4:00 p.m. Attending a few evening readings on campus will also be required.
