“This course provides students the opportunity to craft poetry and short fiction. Different prompts will be used including personal and research poems, litanies, imitating music lyrics, such as contemporary pop and rap ballads, to develop free and formal verse to stimulate new possibilities for expression. Short fiction will focus on the basics such as setting and character development. Attention to word choice, imagery, metaphor, and writing strong lines will be practiced for both genres. Students will work toward a revised body of writings.” – UNE course catalog
