COML 2050 - Introduction to Poetry


(LA-AS)
Fall. 4 credits.

W. J. Kennedy.

Surveys early and modern historical periods and poetic genres in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, from conventional “strict” genres such as songs, sonnets, and haiku to forms closely associated with our own times: free verse, “the prose poem,” etc. Texts are drawn from poetry by such women and men as Sappho, Li Bai, Rumi, Shakespeare, Sor Juana, Basho, Goethe, Keats, Dickinson, Baudelaire, Rilke, Akhmatova, Sowol, Neruda, Sexton, Rich, and others. Poems not in English are read in translation, with texts in the original languages available for comparison. No previous study of poetry required.
