CRWT30020 Poetry Workshop III

Academic Year 2019/2020

This course will expose students to the main forms of contemporary poetry and the debates around them.

Students will respond creatively to writing exercises designed to explore the lyric poem, the persona poem and poems which play with language and form as well as image-based poems and ‘found’ poetry. They will develop a sense of how their creative practice can enhance critical thinking.

Students are enabled to recognise the different kinds of texts that occur in contemporary poetry and they begin to acquire ways of contextualising their own work. They leave the course with a portfolio of poems and with ideas for future writing. Students will develop a sense of how poetry feeds into the wider culture and how they might contribute to that in the future.
