Visual Poetries will function as a workshop in which students write their own poetry while examining the work of a variety of modern and contemporary poets. Readings will focus on poems that emphasize visual elements, including imagist, symbolist, concrete, and ? language?poetry, and explore how poetry takes inspiration from other forms of art such as painting, graphic design, and illustration. Students will consider how each poet makes use of the page as a material canvas and how the placement of words, punctuation, and white space affects the meaning of a poem. Creative experiments assigned throughout the semester will help each student write, design, and present her own brand of visual poetry.Satisfies: Humanities/Liberal Arts elective requirement.
