Abstract
Designed to be an introduction to the arts of reading, analyzing, & writing poetry, this class will place poetry in the larger context of creative writing & the still larger context of writing & of language, itself. The emphasis of this particular class will move between poetic knowledge, correspondence, genealogy, & subjectivity. Among our lines of inquiry will be questions such as: what is a poem? How & where do we encounter poems? Why do we write them? To what do they correspond in the world at large? What does it mean to be an artist “of one’s time” or “one’s place”? How does language come to mean & what happens when meaning is transformed, translated, or transported?
Along the way, students will be introduced to forms & prosody as well as to the primary modes of poetry & the currently accepted elements of poems with an emphasis on metaphor & image, rhythm & music, & performance. Students will develop a vocabulary for discussing & analyzing poems.
