Building on writing principles and critiquing abilities learned in College Composition, students will begin to investigate the differences between prose and poetry. Through exercises and revision, and especially by reading and discussing some contemporary poems, students will learn to recognize and employ some of the basic tools of free verse. Working together on their own and one another's poems with the emphasis on sharing work and offering constructive criticism, students will learn what does, and what does not, work in their own poems.
