I’m teaching five courses this semester. I’m particularly looking forward to returning to the first-year writing classroom after nine years away. Here are the syllabi:
ENGL 220 Introduction to Textual Analysis
ENGL 312 Intermediate Poetry Writing
ENGL 489 Senior Project Methods
ENGL 499 Directed Study
Because I am the 2022–25 Cora A. Babcock Chair in English, I again have a course release this spring. As such, I’ll only be teaching one class this semester, but I’m super excited to teach ENGL 412 Advanced Poetry Workshop again, one of my favorite classes to teach at Hartwick College.
This unconventional fall, I’m revisiting two creative writing courses I’ve frequently taught at Hartwick College, though in a hybrid face to face/online mode. The syllabi:
It’s been a fun, eventful, interesting, and, of course, busy first semester at Hartwick College. Everything else, however, is quite dark. Some links.
