EN 124 - Introduction to Poetry

Institution:

Baker University

Subject:

Description:

This course introduces students to the literary genre of poetry and examines the interrelationships between language and aesthetic experience as they find expression in poetry. Poems studied will be selected to illustrate such facets of poetic expression as rhythm and sound, diction, voice, tone, imagery, figurative language, symbol, and paradox as well as traditional poetic forms, subjects, themes, and myths. Particular attention will be devoted to the way in which poets consciously employ language to create unified aesthetic works combining experiences of sound, rhythm, emotion, intellect and imagination, even as human experience itself is shaped by these dimensions of language.
