Ezra Pound wrote "there is no minutia in poetry." This class will broaden the appeal of the message each poet wants readers to understand by reading drafts line by line, word by word, in order to ensure accessibility, clarity, and power, yet not dilute the writer's emotional intention. We will respectfully contribute insights to all student poems. Poetry by established poets will be examined and discussed.
