CRW 4320 Spring 2018 Hamby

One of the first steps in becoming a poet is finding an authentic voice. In this class we will spend the first hour discussing poems and essays that will investigate the many aspects of voice, including subject, images, line and verse, form, leaping, association, and duende. For the most part the poems we will look at will be the work of poets who are alive and writing now. The final two hours of the class will be spent in reading and discussing your own work.
