ENGL 060 PZ -Poetic Forms & Innovations

Institution: Pitzer

Description: In this course, we will see that form is always an invention, and that
constraint is often liberating to the poem. We will practice writing in a variety of forms, from sonnets to haiku, Oulipo to hiphop.
We will think about the relationship of form to subject matter, as we explore the work of diverse poets who reinvent
traditional forms and lay the groundwork for new modes of poetic speech.
