NES 6727 - New York, Paris, Baghdad: Poetry of the City

(crosslisted)
(also COML 6870 , ENGL 6727 )
Fall. 4 credits.

Co-meets with COML 4600 /ENGL 4727 /FREN 4080 /NES 4727 .

S. M. Toorawa.

The City is a recurrent theme and focus in much poetry, especially poetry of the modernists. We will read these poets to discover how they write the City, how they read it, and how other poets have responded. We will accompany Adonis, Baudelaire, Bayati, Cavafy, Lorca, Sayyab, Whitman (and others) to New York, Paris, Baghdad, Alexandria, Beirut, Cordoba (and elsewhere). All readings in translation, but we will use bilingual editions. Weekly thought essays, and a final paper.
