  • Focused assignments detailing how to make your first attempt at a specific form&break;
  • Illuminating discussions on pop culture, figures of speech, difficult themes, and other important topics&break;

&break;&break;Complementing the instruction are many classic and contemporary poems, including recent work by Richard Wilbur, Wendy Cope, X.J. Kennedy, Dana Gioia, Rachel Hadas, Wyatt Prunty, Alicia Stallings, and many others.
