The Poetry Edition

There are a few of you now in this class you are going to study poetry instead of fiction. If this is the case, the first thing you should do is buy this book:

You're going to be required to read this book this semester, week by week. You will also be required to read one other craft book, of your choosing, that you will present to your fellow poetry students in the weeks to come. I will post a list of suggestions sometime later this week. In addition, you should gather up at least 2 published collections of poetry that you will be sharing and reading during the class. I don't have any restrictions about this, except that I would prefer these collections be new to you--i.e., that you haven't read them before this class.

Here's the schedule for the poetry version of the class. Please bookmark it for future reference.

I'll see you tomorrow and we'll try to get an idea of how many of you there are, and what changes will need to be made to this schedule.

It will be an adventure.
