WRI 407 - Reading and Writing:Currency of the New Millennium

Institution:

Naropa University

Subject:

Description:

Currency: a medium of exchange; the quality or state of belonging to the present time. This course examines the currency of young experimental poets in the new millennium. We develop lines of inquiry while focusing on books published after the year 2000: What do these writers value How do they negotiate form, meaning and the role of the author What are their influences How do they push beyond them And how does this affect you as a writer in the 21st century Because these are recent books, you will be among the first to write about these texts, forging a space for yourself in the critical world. The culmination is an analytic paper as well as a final manuscript of poetry.
