Poetry Writing For Dreamers and Non-Dreamers

Course Code: DED203
School: Distance-Education.org

Description

This course focuses on the art of poetry on two levels, one as a craft and one as a concept. Basic structure and form are taught along with the encouragement to use only those formats supporting the poet`s vision and intent.

Students will work on a one-to-one mentoring basis with the instructor, Carol Givner. Each student will write three poems each week in various rhyme patterns and rhythms, including free verse. At the end of the course, the Ms. Givner will select the finest work of each poet and invite those artists to publish their work in a chapbook anthology released by Studio E with an ISBN.

Outcomes

The intended outcome is threefold. First, each student will emerge confidently from the course with the basics of poetry writing securely learned and reinforced through feedback from the instructor.

Second, each new poet will have crafted quality poetry suitable for chapbook publication.

And third, armed with an ISBN and a publishing credit on their resumes, they will continue to write poetry and submit their work for publication or reading.

Assessment

Assessments will not be made by letter grades, because writing poetry is not an ordinary pursuit. Work will be assessed by letters of comment on proficiency in poetic form and the poet`s ability to sail across unknown seas and discover new lands within themselves.
