This class will give students an opportunity for extensive reading of the work of five or six major poets, some who were writing long ago, some still writing today. Attention will be given to each author's biography and historical context, but most of our attention will be given to the poems themselves, their formal features, how they compare to other poems, how newer poets take inspiration from older ones, and how poetry speaks to us today. An extensive reading of the work of five major poets, from around the world, writing between 1900 and the present. Authors will vary from year to year, so students may take this course more than once.
