In this session we will begin discussion of the structure of published books of poetry. Objectives: Upon completion of this workshop, you will have: Explored different revision techniques and how they match your writing style. Identified the importance of poem titles. Considered the nature of “truth” in contemporary poetry. Discussed the history of “deep image.” Explored different types of poems. Read and analyzed two poetry books. Assignments: Each participant will choose one book of poetry and one poetry craft book and submit, by week 5, a one to two page analysis of the book and its value, or not, to the individual’s poetry writing.
