ENGL 30401 - Contemporary African American Poetry Forms

n this class we will study mostly original poetic forms created by contemporary African American authors to learn basic principles poets use to create poetry. We will practice those techniques in a series of exercises that will allow us to explore different forms of contemporary poetry. This class will give you a basic understanding of poetic form, which you can draw upon as you continue to write poetry.
