Abstract
An introduction to poetry written in English during the latter half of the twentieth century, this course will examine some key developments in poetic style and sensibility after modernism. Our readings and discussions will address both the sound and the sense of poems. We will look closely at linguistic elements such as diction, syntax, and rhythm, considering the ways postwar poets distinguished themselves from their modernist predecessors. Additionally, course discussion will focus on postwar movements and schools such as confessional poetry, the Beats, the New York school, and the Black Arts movement, as well as trends in postcolonial and ethnic-American poetry.
