Learn the art of performance poetry and spoken word in this new freshman seminar! Each week, we will read contemporary poetry, or watch performances of local and nationally-known spoken word artists, and study the phenomena of Poetry Slam competitions in America. Students will also engage in creative exercises to empower the artist in all of us. No previous poetry experience necessary. For the term project, students will produce a spoken word event and/or poetry publication.
