Poetry Workshop: From Thesis to Book
Virgil Suarez
WMS 452

This workshop is not only going to focus on your best poems thus far, but it is also going to help you begin the thesis-making process, and beyond that get you to start preparing the foundation to your first book (or second book if you already have a first). We are going to spend a lot of time workshopping your poems beyond early revisions. Reinvention and re-envisioning are going to be a regular part of the process. You will be expected to write and rewrite a large portion of your work for this class. We are also expecting you to contribute a lot of time to critique and help your classmates with their work-in-progress as well. With any luck this will be a small group of participants who will benefit from this intensive workshop.

Requirements: For MFA students, this course satisfies 3 of the required 12-15 hours of writing workshops. For PhD students, it counts toward the 27 hours of required coursework.
