CRW 4320 Spring 2022 Hamby

Your poetic voice is made up of every characteristic choice you make as a poet. We will look at the elements of voice, including images, metaphors, diction, line, syntax, leaping, duende, and a variety of forms. On Canvas you will find poems and essays that address each of these elements. We will look at these during the first hour of the class, and then we will have a 2-hour workshop. You will be responsible for writing one poem a week. Your final portfolio will be your six best poems.
