ENGLIT 1345 - DOCUPOETRYMinimum Credits: 3 Maximum Credits: 3 Docupoetry (also known as investigative poetry, creative nonpoetry, research-based poetry) is a form of creative writing that relies on a considerable amount of research. To explore various topics or issues, and to pursue new ways of knowing, poets incorporate historical documents, visual artifacts, scientific data, and other materials. The poems that emerge from the process are artistically and intellectually daring, as they interact with other genres (such as essay, memoir, testimony, reportage) and disciplines (history, ethnography, philosophy, geology, environmental science, among others). In this course students will gain familiarity with major forerunners of the practice and examine a diverse set of contemporary examples. In addition, they will spend most of the semester designing and developing their own research-based poems. Previous creative writing experience is welcome but not necessary. Workshop opportunities and instructor feedback will be provided.
