"Milktongue, goatfoot, and twinbird" are the words that poetDonald Hall uses to describe what the voicing and embodying of poetry feels like to him. It is something with taste and texture in our mouths, something we feel in our bodies, and something that sings and chants and fills the world with sight and sound. In this course we focus on the performance of various poetic forms: traditional fixed forms, open verse, concrete poems, found poems and others. We will add to Hall's list of ways to describe just what happens when poetry returns to its roots in the oral tradition. Note: all 300-level literature courses in English have a prerequisite of two 200-level English courses or permission of the instructor.

This course often has a thematic focus: during a recent semester the study of 18th-century English literature and culture concentrated on the relationship between low and high culture, the popular and the polite. The course asked, to what degree can these categories be separated, and in what ways do they intersect or merge in writings of this period? How do texts fit within these categories? What determines these categories - genre? audience? circulation? subject? publication format? Course texts include works by canonical figures such as Pope, Swift and Johnson, women writers and precursors of romanticism. Also offered through European Studies.
