课程概述

Why just write poems when you can write better ones? This course is built on the notion that the most exciting writing begins after the first draft. It is specifically for folks who believe that writing poems just to express oneself is like using the Internet just for email. After all, poetry can change the way you and your readers think of the world and its inhabitants; it can break new ground for language; turn a blank sheet of paper into a teeming concert of voices and music. Though any of us may have the potential to make that happen, having an understanding of how several tools of poetic composition can be used (and audaciously “mis-used”) gives you more ways to try (and if we do this right, we might surprise ourselves most of all). We'll cover key poetic terms and devices by studying poems by a handful of modern and contemporary poets and then get a chance to try our own hand at writing new poem drafts from a select number of prompts. Throughout the course you will have the opportunity to workshop your poem drafts and get feedback on your work, working towards a more polished poem....

The teacher Douglas Kearney is so fun and knowledgeable. The course is a snap to get through if you love poetry. I took an expensive (US$400) course elsewhere and this was better. And free!

Peer reviews can be a gamble. But the professor is excellent. Helpful to get started with poetry or get over writer's block.

Really helpful to take class, but the reviews from some students were not always accurate and it got mixed up sometimes.

Doug is excellent. Section 6 was not helpful. Some of the other studens' submissions were confusing.
