Focuses on the essential elements of poetry writing. Students learn the basics of diction, figuration, meter, lineation, rhyme, rhythm, and voice. Students explore the power of oral and written verse as an individual and communal act. What is at stake in choosing to write poetry? How does poetry express the truth of reality? How do poems imagine and create new political and social worlds? Coursework involves a combination of written assignments, peer workshops, and public readings.

If you are looking for an easy GE this is def not the course. The material is interesting and engaging and the exams are easy as long as you do all the reading. That being said there is ALOT of reading. We read 4 novels plus about 20 other readings. There are 2 exams and 2 essays that make up basically the whole grade.

the midterms and final are just memorizing. we read way too much stuff and she quizzes us on identifying texts which is annoying. the essays were fine but get ready to read lots of full novels and long readings to identify a single line for your grade.

Don't take this class if you want to keep your will to live. Personally, I would not take this class or professor knowing what I know now about the class. Lectures are dry and sometimes, professor rana sighs at the start of lecture, telling me she doesn't even want to be there. Sections are ok.

NOT an easy GE. Lots of reading (full novels) and she doesn't post lecture slides even if you are sick. Lectures are dull and the professor scatters her thoughts a lot. The midterm had identification which was hard since we read a lot of long/boring texts and random sentences from long passages were selected. The class is made unnecessarily hard.
