We all partake, then, a little, of the miracle, that is made not only of luck and inspiration and even happenstance, but of those other matters too— technical knowledge and diligent work—matters that are less interesting perhaps, but altogether essential, for such things support the ineffable and moving light of the poem: they are the bedrock of the river.” --Mary Oliver, A Poetry Handbook Description This course is an intermediate level workshop focusing on the craft of poetry writing. We will engage the art of poetry through technical exercises in sound, meter, form, image, and voice. Structured in a workshop environment, the class discussion will center on student-created texts, with supplemental readings from contemporary poets, and culminate with a final portfolio of revised work. Required Texts Mary Oliver, A Poetry Handbook: A Prose Guide to Understanding and Writing Poetry (ISBN: 9780156724005) Additional course readings will be provided in our course reader, which I will distribute on the first day of class, or as handouts. Electronic versions of all readings will also posted on our Blackboard site.

School of Unlikeness: the Creative Writing Workshop and American Poetry
School of Unlikeness: The Creative Writing Workshop and American Poetry Sarah Cohen A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2012 Reading Committee: Brian Reed, Chair Jeanne Heuving Jessica Burstein Program Authorized to Offer Degree: English University of Washington Abstract School of Unlikeness: American Poetry and the Creative Writing Workshop Sarah Cohen Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Associate Professor Brian Reed English This dissertation is a study of the creative writing workshop as a shaping institution of American poetry in the twentieth century. It takes as its starting point the observation that in the postwar period the rise of academic creative writing programs introduced profound material changes into the lives of American poets, as poetry became professionalized within the larger institution of the university. It goes on to argue that poets responded to these changes in ways that are directly legible in their work, producing a variety of poetic interrogations of the cultural and psychological effects of the reflexive professional self-fashioning that became, partially through the workshop, the condition of modern literary life. In other words, as poets became students and teachers, their classroom and career experiences occasioned new kinds of explorations of identity, performance, vocation, authority, and the cultural status of poets and poetry. The cluster of concerns linked to the evolving institution of "creative writing" shows stylistically diverse works to be united, and also resonates with and helps to clarify the major debates within the poetry world over the past decades between the camps of the "mainstream" and the "avant- garde" or, as Robert Lowell put it in 1959, "the cooked and the raw." My dissertation examines a variety of iterations of the relationship between workshop culture and poetic production through case studies of the poets Robert Lowell, Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, Theodore Roethke, Richard Hugo, and Jorie Graham.

It takes us on voyages with poetic (1911–1979) devices such as imagery, metaphor, rhythm, and rhyme. The poet shares ideas 1950–1952 CONRAD AIKEN with readers and listeners; readers and listeners share ideas with each other. And (1889–1973) anyone can be part of this exchange. Although poetry is, perhaps wrongly, often 1952 seen as an exclusive domain of a cultured minority, many writers and readers of WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS (1883–1963) poetry oppose this stereotype. There will likely always be debates about how 1956–1958 transparent, how easy to understand, poetry should be, and much poetry, by its RANDALL JARRELL very nature, will always be esoteric. But that’s no reason to keep it out of reach. (1914–1965) Today’s most honored poets embrace the idea that poetry should be accessible 1958–1959 ROBERT FROST to everyone.

It includes scheme of studies, objectives & learning outcomes, course contents, teaching methodologies and assessment/ evaluation. Since knowledge in all disciplines and fields is expanding at a fast pace and new disciplines are also emerging; it is imperative that curricula be developed and revised accordingly.

With the repeal of UGC Act, the same function was assigned to the Higher Education Commission (HEC) under its Ordinance of 2002, Section 10, Sub-Section 1 (v). In compliance with the above provisions, the Curriculum Division of HEC undertakes the revision of curricula regularly through respective National Curriculum Revision Committees (NCRCs) which consist of eminent professors and researchers of relevant fields from public and private sector universities, R&D organizations, councils, industry and civil society by seeking nominations from their organizations.

In 1979, Jon Friedman founded the annual Bisbee Poetry Festival in the historic mining town of Bisbee, AZ, a picturesque town on the Mexican border that had become a vibrant center of creative activity for musicians, writers, and artists. Every year for the next seven years Friedman invited six of the best contemporary poets to Bisbee during the third week of August to read their poetry to audiences that usually exceeded 500 avid fans from around the country. The readings, which might more accurately be described as performances, varied from an hour to an hour and a half, and these readings, along with the interviews, workshops, press conferences and informal social events that surrounded the readings, were all professionally videotaped, thereby capturing some of the most riveting live poetry readings of the period, readings that, it must be emphasized, were enhanced by their non-academic environment.

Dr. Tina Barr Course number: 265, 20th-Century American Women’s Poetry 3:00-4:30 p.m. MW My office is on the 3rd floor of Palmer Hall, number 307. My phone number is 843-3979 and my email address is: [email protected]. Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions or to arrange a conference. Course Description: This course will explore how a gendered perspective on reading and writing poetry might deepen our understanding of the forms and functions of a poetic response. We will contextualize our study through reading a number of essays. Although we will move back and forth between periods, as a general approach we will begin by readings poets of the modernist period, then poetry written postwar(s), and finally we’ll conclude by reading contemporary work by writers whose reputations have developed more recently. Required Texts: No More Masks, Florence Howe, ed., Harper Collins; Shakespeare’s Sisters, eds. Gilbert and Gubar, Indiana UP; Dwelling in Possibility, eds. Prins and Schreiber; Trilogy by H.D., New Directions; Geography III by Elizabeth Bishop, Farrar, Straus; West Wind by Mary Oliver, Houghton Mifflin and a coursepack. The coursepack will include essays and poetry by Adrienne Rich and the essay, “The Feminist Literary Movement,” by Carole Oles and Hilda Raz. You will read Kinky, by pop poet Denise Duhamel, in preparation for her reading on April 27th. Structure of Course: Class will be based on discussion, so your response to the reading and poems is crucial to its success. You should read and aggressively make notations in your texts with ideas and questions.
