This course is conducted as a seminar. Models of excellent writing are used as a basis for classroom discussion. This includes works from the 20th century as well as students' own works. You will be expected to hand in creative work and a set exercise every week. This is not a composition course. It deals with practical problems of creative writing such as style; techniques; poetic forms; and the role of the literary artist. You should have a good academic average; although you need not have been published. Prerequisite: Full year of 200-level English.
