exploration into the form and practice of poetry, focusing on the choices writers
make in writing in either fixed form or free form styles by manipulating line and stanza
breaks; using concrete imagery; manipulating language by using figures of speech;

sounds; and how they work together to create, manipulate and support the various
forms of irony (verbal, dramatic, situational) through which the poem delivers its

modernism, new formalism and slam, students will be expected to engage in both
