English 313 - Performing Poetry

Institution:

St Lawrence University

Subject:

Description:

"Milktongue, goatfoot, and twinbird" are the words that poetDonald Hall uses to describe what the voicing and embodying of poetry feels like to him. It is something with taste and texture in our mouths, something we feel in our bodies, and something that sings and chants and fills the world with sight and sound. In this course we focus on the performance of various poetic forms: traditional fixed forms, open verse, concrete poems, found poems and others. We will add to Hall's list of ways to describe just what happens when poetry returns to its roots in the oral tradition. Note: all 300-level literature courses in English have a prerequisite of two 200-level English courses or permission of the instructor.
