ENGL 247 - Poetry Of The Page

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

A close listening course which foregrounds poetry's sound text by means of reading aloud, audio and videotapes, live poetry readings and Slams, and live class performance. We will explore: today's audio-text in relation to early oral tradition; sound text and written text as two different texts generated by any given poem; sound as artistic medium; the place of the spoken poem in our current U.S.A. culture(s). The class community will do some writing, but the focus is on sound--speech, hearing, listening as embodiment of text. This course satisfies the requirement of a course emphasizing cultural context. 1.00 units, Lecture
