DESCRIPTION
This module is designed to enable students to develop and experiment with poetry as a mode of creative expression through the study and production of poetry in a variety of forms. The module introduces students to the workings of rhythm, meter and rhyme; a selection of poetic forms (e.g. haiku, sestina, villanelle) and devices (e.g. metaphor, imagery, symbolism); and a variety of other conventions associated with verse. Students will learn about the technical skills of writing poetry by reading the work of established and emerging poets. Workshops will focus on methods of explication and students will be able to apply close-reading practices to their own and peers' writing. The module will also concentrate on other methods of evaluation and revision. Students will produce a portfolio of original poetry for this module.
