Modern & Postmodern Poetry and Poetics
This course examines the diverse ways in which the English language has been used in twentieth and twenty-first century poetry. The course begins with the challenges to traditional poetry evident in the early 1900s, then highlights the effects of key literary theories on the poetry of the mid to late twentieth century, before turning to the multiple ways in which both spoken word and digital media have affected twenty-first century poetic practices. NOTE: Students cannot receive credit for both ENGL 311 and ENGL 3311.
