Description

This course is a poetry writing workshop. Students will submit new drafts of poems weekly, and we will read and discuss these together, supporting each other's growth as writers. We will also study contemporary examples focusing on poetry of the Bay Area. At the conclusion of the term, students will revise their work, produce chapbooks of poems, and present them at a public reading.

Note that while during fall and spring semesters, admission to 143B requires an application process, no application is needed to register for the summer version of the course.
