I'm taking an advanced creative writing course, again! Expect this time I'll be signed up as an independent study rather than class, but I'll still go to the actual class like a normal student. It's writer's choice, so I think I'll try my hand at writing something more expansive than a story. Perhaps a novella.
The professor teaching the course is Dr. Edward Allen, who most recently wrote a novel in limericks and also had one of his novels recently adapted for film.

@xxcjs_babyxx - Thanks. I write poetry too, but consider myself more of a fiction author. But, I'll admit I am working on a couple poetry projects.
You can check out some of my poems here: http://darkgreenwriter.xanga.com/683636761/poems/
Who are your favorite poets/books of poetry? I love Richard Siken and Kimiko Hahn and John Berryman and Adrienne Rich and Allison Hedge Coke and others. Ok, I do love good poetry, but I'm really very picky.
@darkgreenwriter - I dont really read a lot of poetry books. I prolly wouldn't know where to begin.
@xxcjs_babyxx - That's funny. You should really check out one of their books (any book of poetry by one poet) or at least read an anthology of poetry before you dream too much about writing a book of your own poems.
I find it interesting how much a book of poetry by one author can convey a thematic meaning. The books of poetry I've read are more than a collection of poems, but a work as a whole.
Good luck with your poetic aspirations and write on.
@darkgreenwriter - thnx I will definitely have to check that out. Have a great day! Peace and Love!
wow, i hope i can join the class, may i know where is it? anyway, i have a new short story, it is weird, but i hope you can leave a comment inmy blog and tell me what you think.
@genamus - It's at the University of South Dakota. It's an advanced creative writing class; so, you'll have needed to have taken creative writing 1 and 2 as prerequisites for this class.
We have a great English department if you're looking for a BA, MA, or PhD program.
@darkgreenwriter - ok, i am actually in hartford now taking studies in peacemaking, but i'd love to study writing stories.
