POETRY AT A GLANCE

Since courses are listed by department rather than subject matter, it’s difficult for students and advisors to tease out the full array of poetry-related courses available in any given semester.

We’ve completed a list of Spring ’10 courses that have a substantial focus on poetry, both those offered in English and in foreign languages. This course list will be updated prior to advising periods each semester.

(Please send suggestions of other courses to include to poetrycenter@smith.edu )
