| Instructor's comments about the book list: Please buy Writing Fiction and Poetry's Possible Worlds before the first week of class. I encourage you to buy a used copy of The Poet's Companion, which should be very inexpensive, but I will also provide a PDF of that book. You can order books through The Odyssey Book Shop, any independent bookstore, or Bookshop.org or Powell's City of Books among other online vendors. |
