Prerequisites: Introduction to Creative Writing Required Reading: Contemporary American Poetry, Seventh Edition. Edited by A. Poulin, Jr. & Michael Waters; The Country Between Us by Carolyn Forche; Dancing in Odessa by Ilya Kaminsky; The Beauty of the Husband by Anne Carson; Claims for Poetry. Edited by Donald Hall. Course Objectives/Learning Outcomes: This course is designed to teach the art of reading and writing poetry. Each week a new poem will be written alongside a reading assignment. Assignments will be gleaned from techniques used by the poets we are reading, so some formal imitation will be involved, especially at the beginning of the semester. This is a seminar course in which all students are expected to contribute to discussion and sharing of work. Each week we will begin class with “Rounds,” during which time each student will read passages from the prior week’s readings that they feel resonated in some way for them. We will travel around the table three times, each reading our three chosen passages of 5 lines or less. Please type these out and hand them in for credit. This will aid in the art of recitation and the discipline of listening to poetry. We will then do writing exercises and discuss specific poems from the readings. Reading is an integral part of this course. Your participation grade will be determined by how deeply you have engaged the poetry and how eagerly you articulate that engagement in discussion. By the end of the semester you will be versed in prosody, figurative language, various poetic forms, and the language of critical poetic analysis. You will also leave the course having drafted thirteen poems, five of which will be brought to completion. Course Requirements: Weekly assignments: 40% These will include poem drafts, revisions, memorization of poems, and reading. Each week you will get an assignment sheet stating what you need to accomplish for the following class. If you miss class, you need to stop by my office to pick up this sheet outside my office door. I will not send it by email. Late assignments will drop one grade per day and will not be accepted one week past their due date. Class Participation: 20% You need to show each week that you have done the required reading and writing through thoughtful participation in discussion. Your participation grade will also include your response letters to students once we begin workshopping. Each week, three people will be assigned to write a critical response to one peer poem. We will do three poems during each week’s workshop. This will begin in late September. Your response will be graded according to its engagement with the poem, aptness of criticism, and articulation of which poetic devices are meaningfully employed in the poem. You will get no credit if this response is late, as we build that evening’s discussion around your initial comments. Conferences: 10% You are required to come to my office hours for two individual conferences over the course of the semester. One conference must be before October 1. Please bring two poems to closely edit with me. I will not make sign up sheets or create intricate schedules for this. You may drop by my office hours or, if those do not work for your schedule, we can make an alternate time to meet. Final portfolio: 30% The final portfolio will be due the last day of class. It will include 5 finished poems with at least 5 rough drafts placed behind the final draft. The portfolio will be titled and will also include a table of contents and a 2-page essay discussing how the readings of the semester have influenced your writing. Grading: Final grades will be calculated on the following scale: 93-100: A 82-92: B 71-81: C 60-70: D 59 and below: F Attendance: If you never miss class you will have 3% added to your final grade. Missing 4 or more of the total 14 classes, for any reason, will result in failure. You will be encouraged to withdraw from the course if you are having attendance problems. *Students with disabilities who need to receive accommodation in this class should contact Disability Services at 865-2990 and should also speak to me about specific needs. Disability Services is located in the Academic Enrichment Center in Monroe Hall 405. *Please do not eat in class. We will have a 10-minute break mid-class. *Please turn off all cell phones and pagers before entering the classroom.

Hall has written children’s books, books on baseball, autobiographical works, short stories and plays.

  • With Jane and Without: an Interview with Donald Hall, Non-Fiction By
    With Jane and Without: An Interview with Donald Hall By Jeffrey S. Cramer ANYONE KENYON ACQUAINTED cannot help but stand WITH in awe THE of the STORY irony which, OF if DONALD it HALL AND JANE appeared in fiction, would appall by its tear-jerking manipulation. The reality, as I stand before Jane Kenyon's grave, leaves me sad dened and numb. The lines on their shared stone are from Kenyon's poem, "After noon at MacDowell. " Although she wrote it with Hall in mind when he, as he has said, was ''supposed to die," they now stand in testimony to Kenyon, and look, mistakenly, like words he must have written for her: I BELIEVE IN THE MIRACLES OF ART BUT WHAT PRODIGY WILL KEEP YOU SAFE BESIDE ME Four miles North of the Proctor cemetery on Route 4, just past Eagle Pond Road, in the shadow of Ragged Mountain, is Eagle Pond Farm. There is no sign, no name on the mailbox, but the satellite dish over whelming the North side yard announces the home of a man who cannot live unconnected to his beloved baseball games. The living room seems truly a living room, a room lived in, infor mal. It is surrounded, as would be expected, by books; an open book of pictures of sculpture by Henry Moore lays on the coffee table in front of the couch on which I sit. By the window Hall's chair faces the T.V. and VCR which must have received, recorded and replayed thousands of ballgames. The Glenwood stands nearby.

  • Appendix B: a Literary Heritage I
    Appendix B: A Literary Heritage I. Suggested Authors, Illustrators, and Works from the Ancient World to the Late Twentieth Century All American students should acquire knowledge of a range of literary works reflecting a common literary heritage that goes back thousands of years to the ancient world. In addition, all students should become familiar with some of the outstanding works in the rich body of literature that is their particular heritage in the English- speaking world, which includes the first literature in the world created just for children, whose authors viewed childhood as a special period in life. The suggestions below constitute a core list of those authors, illustrators, or works that comprise the literary and intellectual capital drawn on by those in this country or elsewhere who write in English, whether for novels, poems, nonfiction, newspapers, or public speeches. The next section of this document contains a second list of suggested contemporary authors and illustrators—including the many excellent writers and illustrators of children’s books of recent years—and highlights authors and works from around the world. In planning a curriculum, it is important to balance depth with breadth. As teachers in schools and districts work with this curriculum Framework to develop literature units, they will often combine literary and informational works from the two lists into thematic units. Exemplary curriculum is always evolving—we urge districts to take initiative to create programs meeting the needs of their students. The lists of suggested authors, illustrators, and works are organized by grade clusters: pre-K–2, 3–4, 5–8, and 9– 12.
