"You Must Change Your Life" —Rilke
Never written a poem before? Want to learn how? Join us for an exciting and interactive poetry workshop. After reading from a few traditions and forms, we’ll attempt to define poetry. In this context, we’ll play a word game and begin crafting an initial draft. As time allows, participants may “publish” their poems orally. Together, we may discover or re-discover what Rilke meant when he claimed “You must change your life.”
Mission Statement
The Writing Center’s purpose is to guide students through the writing process and to provide support for faculty who assign written work. Tutoring sessions at the Center are interactive discussions that encourage students to make informed decisions about their writing. The outcome of tutoring should be that the writer, not necessarily a specific piece of writing, will be changed. Tutors will not write, re-write, or line-edit any portion of a student’s paper. Rather, they will assist with pre-writing, drafting, researching, revising, and editing. Most importantly, the Center aims to build students’ confidence and improve their writing skills.
