Title: ART OF POETRY
Section: 03
Semester: Fall - 2021
Credits: 3
Description:
Let's rediscover poetry together! So many students are intimidated by poetry - or believe they "just don't get it."
But don't you love poetry? Didn't you love it - at some point?
Nursery rhymes? Jump-rope chants? Tongue-twisters?
And don't you know a few hip-hop songs by heart?
Isn't this poetry?
Let's re-discover the joys - and the mysteries - of poetic language!
We will discuss the music and the imaginative tools of poetry.
Students will become more sophisticated readers and listeners: metaphor, point of view, meter, rhyming - these are just a few of the aspects of poetic language that we will analyze.
This course will help any student who finds poetry a bit intimidating, and for those students who already find much delight in poetry, this course will enrich your understanding of poetic craft.
