ENG310: Mini Anthology One
Each week in ENGL 310: Advanced Poetry Writing at Monmouth College, writers choose a poems from different kinds of sources. For the first week, they chose one of a dozen or so recent issues of Poetry, contributing a single poem to the class anthology. The discussions of the poems and poets--their subjects, voices, craft--weave into and out of the students writers’ own work. I’m learning about new poets and and new poems already. Next week: individual poems from recently published collections.
