An exercise in poetry appreciation. Because poetry is little appreciated in today's prose-oriented culture, the course will approach it as if students have never studied it previously and will seek means to form a sensitive response. Readings will range from Elizabethan to modern, studied for what students can get out of them without a knowledge of the period or the history of literature. The course will develop a perception of what poetry is about, what happens in the poem, and what the quality called "poetic" really is. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Amer and Int'l Studies College Literature Department
