Poetry for Prose Writers

1 Unit · Graduate

Poetry for Prose Writers examines how the art of poetry can enrich the writing of fiction and creative nonfiction. By examining the literary strategies shared across genres and the elements distinguishing one genre from another, students will explore how both genres work in isolation and in concert with one another. This course includes an introduction to traditional and more modern forms of poetry and moves across genres to examine similar modes and impulses in literary prose.
