A poetry writing course, but with a strong emphasis on reading.  Students will closely examine the work of various poets and periods, then attempt to write plausible imitations of their own, all by way of learning about poetry from the inside, as it were.


Admission with consent of the instructor.  Limited to 15 students.  Please consult the Creative Writing Center website for information on admission to this course.  Fall semester.  Writer-in-Residence Hall.

Permission is required for interchange registration during all registration periods.
