CRWR 214OC - The Poetry of Place

FC ARHU WINT

4 credits
This course examines the role of place in shaping poetry writing. Students will actively engage with the local environment of N.E. Ohio’s natural landscape, agriculture, history, industry, and community to develop a sense of place. Weekly writing assignments reflect on the intersection between language and the environments we inhabit. Classic and contemporary texts will help us chart the changing relationship among nature, self, and community. This course is part of the Fieldwork: The Art of Place StudiOC learning community. Field trips required.
