font-family:Times'>In this course we will explore the basics of writing in
meter and rhyme. We will read and discuss the techniques used in a
variety of contemporary and classic sonnets by such international poets as
Seamus Heaney, Ted Berrigan, e.e. cummings, Marilyn Hacker, Marilyn Nelson,
William Baer, Willis Barnstone, Gerald Stern, Edna St. Vincent Millay,
Petrarch, William Shakespeare, Francisco de Quevedo, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz,
Jorge Luis Borges, and Feng Zhi. The class will learn the basics of
“scanningâ€</span></font><font size=2 face=Times><span

form).</span></font><font size=2 face=Times><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Times'> We will discuss experimental sonnet form (shrinking
sonnets, hourglass sonnets, free verse sonnets, Meredithian sonnets, etc.) and
experimental rhyme techniques (full consonance, sight rhymes, reverse rhymes,
repetition rhymes, inclusion rhymes, antonym rhymes, etc.) Students
should bring a portable computer or a pad of paper and a pen, and it might be a
good idea to bring some free verse poems to use as source material for the
poems to be written in class. <br>
