ENG 390—Creative Writing Poetry Workshop

This poetry writing workshop asks students to submit original writing for peer review, compose weekly critical responses, and read advanced representations of the genre. The goal is to help student poets develop their style, hone their technique, and produce original poetry. Previous workshops have concentrated on specific issues in poetic composition, such as the relationship of poetry to difficulty. All versions of 390 will leverage UB’s status as one of the most exciting sites for the study of contemporary American poetry today by providing students with the opportunity to hear and meet the poets and scholars of poetry who visit Buffalo during the semester.
