This program is designed for writers who want to develop their skills in poetry while gaining an appreciation for the diversity of the form. Students explore the nuances of poetry writing in a small workshop setting. Developing writers progress through a sequence of courses that foster a growing awareness of voice and structure while encouraging reflective practice through extensive reading. This program is appropriate for those who have a serious interest in such writing, whether they are seeking publication or entrance to competitive graduate writing programs. Writing courses are taught by instructors who are published authors. The School of Continuing Studies offers evening courses on Northwestern's Evanston and Chicago campuses.
