EN-118 Creative Writing: Styles of Fiction

An innovative module that will introduce the student to the art of writing within a broad range of styles. Weekly lectures will introduce each student to authors of specific styles, such as poetry, writing for theatre, song writing and professional writing. Each lecture will be followed by a seminar that will focus on a variety of methods used to write in that specific style. Regular assignments will offer the student an opportunity to write creatively - a unique opportunity to expand, discover, and explore their emerging writerly voice. Built into the module is a wide reaching reading programme that will assist each student to be conversant with the traditions of writing in a specific genre, whilst encouraging close reading and editing skills. Students will be taught by published authors who work within these particular genres, and will also have the opportunity to hear these authors read & discuss their own new work and works-in-progress. The module aims to examine the structure, voice, setting and style, of specific written material so as to initiate curiosity, create empathy, and focus on increasing an understanding of the structures used within research, writing character, setting and historical context in a specific style. Emphasis will be placed on the theory and practice of reading, comprehension and writing.
EN-319 Further Poetry Writing

This module consists of ten two-hour weekly workshops, which will deepen knowledge of the craft of writing poetry, paying close attention to the specific language of the poem, and the relationship between form and content. This will occur against a background theme of the changing role of the poet in society and how it has affected poetic form, as well as an exploration of the position of poetry - whether performed or published - in the past and the present. the focus each week will be on writing and rewriting and weekly workshops will include discussion of published poetry and the students' own work.
EN-M40 Poetry 2

This module follows on from the lessons learned in Writing Poetry 1, with writing workshop intensives that will in part be adapted to ¿ but will also challenge ¿ the particular interests of the group. We will explore both the possibilities and demands of a variety of forms and approaches, with a view to extending into the longer poem, and we will also pay close attention to essential, condensed language. Students will be encouraged to experiment and take risks outside their preferred and familiar forms, voices and use of language. The module consists of group workshops and individual meetings, which will include writing exercises, reading and discussion of some assigned texts (a range of poems and some criticism), and focused discussion of student work. Writing assignments will be set each week and brought to workshops for group discussion. In the second half of the semester we will look at rewriting and finishing work with a view to submission to journals. Students will be expected to write beyond the assignments, and to read widely in contemporary poetry. The module will be evaluated by a portfolio of poetry of between 2,000 and 3,000 words, together with a 1,000-word reflective essay on the creative process involved in assembling the portfolio.
