Jay Parini

I loved this class with professor Parini. I took it to fufill my art requirement, and ended up really enjoying it. Each week you have poems to read and then he splits the class into two groups and the groups alternate writing poems and work shopping them. You learn how to write free verse and sonnets and get to discuss the different styles with your peers. The final is a portfolio of all of the work youve written after you have edited it based on your peers feedback.

Great class, especially if you want something simple. The majority of what you do is discuss poems, and since it’s a 40ish person class, there’s no pressure to be a frequent participant. Parini is awesome, just do the work and you’re good.

Great and easy class. Parini is a great Professor, class is chill and you just go in and talk about interesting poems. He grades paper easily and if you do the work and participates in class, you will do well
