Contemporary Poetry and Fiction

This subject focuses on the creative process of writing poetry and fiction, from the first idea through the development, editing and presentation, including the identification of sources, and choice of style and form. Students will be encouraged to write a variety of forms of fiction and contemporary poetry and to workshop this work in progress in class. They will be encouraged to read and discuss a wide range of contemporary literature as part of their understanding and articulation of their own and others' creative work.
