Description:

This course aims to make us all better readers of American poetry and also poses a number of contextual questions: How did audiences for and purposes of poetry change in particular time periods? What kinds of poetry have been "canonized" by later academics, and what kinds have not? What is the relationship between politics and poetry? Are cultural expectations formed by poetic expression, or do cultural norms and changes drive poetic innovation? How have conditions of publishing affected the writing of poetry? For undergraduate English majors and minors, this course satisfies the Genre (B-1) requirement.
