A workshop is available in the Department of English and American Studies for students who write poetry and prose creatively. It focuses on developing creative texts through close reading, writing exercises, peer critique, and revision. The main goals of the workshop are to gain inspiration, to learn more about one's individual voice and style, to give and take productive criticism, to practice the skill of rewriting, to prepare texts for publication, and to acquire a greater appreciation for the art(s) of creative writing.

This workshop is taught by Dara Barnat, a published poet and doctoral student in the Department of English and American Studies.

The workshop meets weekly in the second semester. It is not for credit, and only for students who are highly motivated and serious about their work.

Students' writing from past workshops can be viewed here:

The workshop is made possible by the generous support of the Fred Simmons Fund.
