Student Originated Studies: Poetics is a program for students pursuing individual studies on major figures in early and late modernism (James Joyce, Marcel Proust, Hilda Doolittle, Virginia Woolf, Paul Celan and William Carlos Williams might be good examples, to name just a few fiction writers and poets one might consider). Students will pursue intensive research papers on the texts in question (25-30 pages) as well as devise ways to respond creatively to the writing of that figure in their own chosen literary form. Students will also meet with faculty and with one another to pool their resources and enrich the complication about the writers under investigation.
