WRI 365 - Reading and Writing:Experimental Women Writers

Institution:

Naropa University

Subject:

Description:

Experimental women writers question the role of gender in poetic practice, while challenging the idea of "feminine" forms and, in the words of Lyn Hejinian, "rejecting closure." This course examines women writers such as Rosemarie Waldrop and Hejinian, and how they investigate the margins of their condition while participating in the center of the poetic. We explore language and meaning; the nature of subjectivity, persona, and self; as well as the feminine, the body and community. All genders welcome.
