ENGLIT 0315 - READING POETRY


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Poetry is usually the first literary form to evolve in a culture. Yet many today reject it as artificial, overly refined and removed from ordinary human experience. By studying various kinds of poetry, this course aims to help students break down the barriers between classic poems, contemporary poetry, and a more general lyric impulse. As the most highly condensed literary experience, poetry invites very close reading, so we will explore various techniques for making sense of poems.
