Name: ENGL - 325

Title: AMERICAN POETRY: W.W. II-PRESENT

Section: 01

Semester: Fall - 2011

Credits: 3

Description:
After World War II, American poetry saw a wealth of new schools emerge, many of which abandoned venerated formalist traditions to explore more open poetics and public arts. In the first half of this course, we will study the varied terrain of post-war poetry by examining selected literary movements active through the 1980s, including Confessionalism, Beat Poetry, Black Arts Poetry, and Feminist Poetry. In the second half of the course, we will study the poetry of more contemporary authors by readings book-length collections. As part of the course, you will complete weekly blog entries and write at least two major papers on poetics. Prerequisites: ENWR 106 or HONP 101.
