"Our undergraduate creative writing programs blend the complementary practices of critical reading and writing. Alongside some of the most accomplished writers in their genres, students explore and experiment with a variety of genres including fiction, poetry, screenwriting and playwriting. In workshops, students work together to develop a range of communication skills useful both in creative writing and in related fields."
If poems aren't your thing, just skip ahead in the table of contents to English Literature where the essays resume. I just ordered everything alphabetically by faculty for ease of organizing the content. If you only read a couple poems, the standouts are in bold below in my opinion with a brief explanation of what to expect.
POEMS
> the crumb
> wild
> apodyopsis
> bitter blood
> an ode to my true love (an intentional misdirect poem with a punchline that makes the second read a wholly different experience)
> the disposal of my shame
> the beauty of hands (because I may or may not have a hand fetish)
> screwed
> in the image
> poison ivy (from the pov of poison ivy the plant)
> the elliptic triptych
> to her presumptuous lord (a response to "To His Coy Mistress" by Andrew Marvell from the 18th century)
> grove
> viper (in the style of William Blake)
> the green villain, elle; a villanelle
> martini (again, from the point of view of the olive in the martini glass)
> the abecedarium
> from the sea foam
> thicket
> herringbone hymn
> arboreal
> at the riverside
> fairytale green
