About this Unit
In this unit students examine the various forms, ways and means of writing poetry and, where appropriate, song lyrics. Students are taught to analyse and write poetry from a writer's rather than a reader's point of view, and how there is graft in the craft of poetry, even if techniques and methods vary. The workshop format will give a greater understanding and motivation in the development of the field of writing poetry.
