Student Learning Outcome

1. The goal of the course is to work to fill a form with words that sing. When you enter your essence, the source of inner and outer self, you're in a creative state. A sure way to locate that essence is to write poetry which, as a poet has said "expresses with concision the spirit." Voice is your fingerprint.
