Students were required to write a story (or a novel beginning) in the POV of a 10-15 year old; find other books of fiction that use similar POVstrategy, and lead a discussion on them; and assist in preparing an annotated bibliography of story collections and novels that feature a child/adolescent as narrator or protagonist. CRWR 421, University of Oregon.

CRWR 430, University of Oregon.

2002 The Long Story. Students read examples of the 20-50 page story, the story-sequence, the linked story-collection, episodic stories, and the novella. They critically considered what distinguishes intermediate-length forms from the “short” story, and from the novel. Their writing project was to follow one of the approaches above. Text: Best American Stories of the Century (Updike), plus readings from The Dancing Girl of Izu (Kawabata), Collected Stories of Ellen Gilchrist, Selected Stories of Munro, The Collected Stories of Isaac Babel, The Woman in the Oil Field (Daugherty), Like Never Before (Havazelet). CRWR 325, University of Oregon.

1999-2006 Working Into & Out of Forms. Students write exercises in formal structures, study forms and measures for structuring poems (syllabics, meter, accentual meter, fixed forms, open forms, parallelism, etc.), and revise to create a balance of story/structure/verbal music/imagery. Assorted texts during different terms: Working Into & Out of Forms (packet of student experiments in formal structure); Velocities (Dobyns); Best Words, Best Order (Dobyns); Making Your Own Days (Koch); New & Selected Poems (Lux). CRWR 341, 342, 343, University of Oregon.

1998 Family Stories. Students wrote drafts of nonfiction/memoir/autobiographical material (using a narrator aged between 8-15), then revised it into fiction via time-honored tactics: changing the setting and character names/ages/genders/characteristics; compressing time; skipping irrelevant events, and emphasizing/magnifying more interesting events and scenes. Text: The House on Mango Street (Sandra Cisneros). CRWR 241, University of Oregon.

1995-2006 Three Fiction Genres. Students read, discuss and imitate examples of three genres: the tale (fable, parable, fantasy), the yarn (satire, parody, farce, metafiction), and the realistic story—then pursue a self-chosen writing project. Rotating texts: Sudden Fiction (Shapard & Thomas); Sudden Fiction International (Shaphard & Thomas); Flash Fiction (Thomas, Hazuka, Smith); Writing in General and the Short Story in Particular (Hills) CRWR 324, 325, 326, University of Oregon.

1995-1999 Four Poetic Modes. Students choose a study path from four modes—narrative, persona, lyric, or meditative—and pursue creative and critical work along that path, largely in small workshop groups. Texts: three anthology packets on reserve, plus 6 student-selected books for review, selected from a list of contemporary poets in the UO Knight Library. CRWR 341, 342, 343, University of Oregon.

1994-96 Introduction to Poetry. Students focus on writing drafts in increasingly complex poetic structures, from incremental parallelism, through normative patterns of line, stanza, stresses, syllables, through fixed forms. Revisions may optionally loosen structure, or tighten it. Texts: packet of student poems; Strong Measures, Dacey & Jauss eds. CRWR 243, University of Oregon.

1993 Something Happened to Somebody Somewhere: Narrative Poetic Modes. Many lyrics contain a narrative element, however compressed, implicit, or rudimentary. This workshop emphasized the writing of narratives that are relatively expansive, explicit and complicated. Students read contemporary poems for narrative elements, as well as book-length poems. Critical procedure was more like a fiction workshop, taking a large view of Action/Character/Setting, point of view, and voice (instead of finicky attention to ornamental details of imagery, metaphor, line and sound). Readings packet, plus excerpts from Iris (Jarman); Dead Reckoning (Haxton); Thomas and Beulah (Dove); The Dead and the Living (Olds). CRWR 341, University of Oregon.

1993 In/Formed Wildness. A lyric poem workshop based on chaos theory: the dynamic interplay between conventions of form & rhythm, and spontaneities of language. Emphasis on the “transition zone” between formal repetitions (predictability, order, simplicity, clarity, pattern) and linguistic variations (disruption, disorder, complexity, ambiguity, juxtaposition). Text: Strong Measures: Recent American Poetry in Traditional Forms (Dacey & Jauss). CRWR 431, University of Oregon.

1993 Using Other Voices. ‘Documentary poems’, dramatic monologues, and persona poems, with an emphasis on transgressing boundaries of gender, class, race, education, historical period. Source materials & methods included documentary photographs, Depression-era letters to presidents, oral histories, family stories, eavesdropping in cafes, bars, bus stations. Texts/resources: First Person America (Banks); Letters from the Forgotten Man; Anne Frank documentary exhibit; Eugene Register-Guard; Pioneer Cemetery, Eugene. CRWR 342, University of Oregon.

1990 Narrative Imagery and Dramatic Diction for Poets: a workshop designed to counteract excessive or uncritical lyricism—poetry that is vaguely associative, obscure in imagery/situation/setting, and weak or discontinuous in voice. Students learn to recognize and use 3 types of narrative imagery in rendering action, character and setting; how to choose points of view, and how to modulate diction levels, in creating voices to suit the situation and its dramatic intensity; and how to choose line length and prosodic techniques appropriate to the subject, voice and theme. University of Massachussetts, Amherst.
