WRI 311 - Reading and Writing Seminar:Poetic Operation

Institution:

Naropa University

Subject:

Description:

This course challenges traditional assumptions about how poems are created by isolating the operations in play to produce texts. We begin with Gertrude Stein's Tender Buttons, then read contemporary writers who question the authority of poetic practice through new uses of language, form, syntax and meaning. We immerse ourselves in the laboratory of literary structures and examine how writers confront convention and experiment with process. In addition, we examine the writer's historical context and how it informs the "poetic operation.
