| Creative Writing 1– Poetry | 3 |
Students learn how to understand and write different poetic forms from the level of the verse rhythm (dactylic hexameter, alexandrin, iambic pentameter) over different stanzas to complex forms, such as sonnet, sestina, ghazal etc. The highest step in the framework of this program is the animation of students to write their own poems. This dimension depends on their personal motivation and on the study profile: 1) practical writing skills should help the students studying exclusively Comparative Literature to deepen and widen their knowledge in literary history and theory; This program gives an insight into the history of poetic forms and procedures. |
