Students perform close critical and creative readings of poetry, demonstrating fluent comprehension and depth of understanding. Students critically identify and evaluate the use of historical conventions, poetic structures, and literary techniques common to the craft of poetry, as found in the works of professional writers, peers, and self. Students apply advanced poetic techniques for image, voice, character, setting, structure, and mechanics necessary to compose a significant portfolio of original creative work. Students compose various original poems through independent writing practice, and subsequently reflect on, evaluate, and re-evaluate serial revisions. Through developmental exercises, workshops, and peer review, students engage independently and collaboratively in critical and creative processes. Students communicate using cognitive and affective skills to engage specific audiences with the discerning use of abstract and concrete language. Prerequisites: 6 credits of first-year English (with the exception of ENGL 1150) and completion of 45 credits or permission of instructor or department chair. Note: ENGL 1150 is recommended. Students will only receive credit for one of ENGL 3380 and CRWR 3380.
