Creative Writing Courses
Writing Poetry I - Daniel Hall

Writing Poetry I is an introductory writing workshop. In addition to discussing one another's poems, students will read exemplary poetry of the past and present, and acquire a basic knowledge of English prosody. There will be weekly writing assignments, formal or thematic.

Limited enrollment. Please attend the first class meeting and bring a five-page writing sample (poetry and/or prose).

A list of admitted students will be posted outside the Creative Writing Center (Webster 212) shortly thereafter. We'll try to post the list here on this page as well.

Professor Hall can be reached by e-mail at djhall@amherst.edu or by phone at 253-2113.

Additional Information

Please put your name on every page of your writing sample. Your contact information (school, year, phone, e-mail) should go on the first page.

Failure to submit material wil reduce your chances of gaining admission to the course. If you need to know whether or not you've been admitted and you can't come to campus, call or e-mail Joe Thoron.
