COML 2050 - [Introduction to Poetry]


(ALC-AS, LA-AS)      
Spring. Not offered: 2022-2023. Next offered: 2023-2024. 4 credits. Student option grading.

N. Pollak.

Could a meter have a meaning?  Could there be a reason for a rhyme?  And what is lost and gained in translation?  We’ll think about these and other questions in this introduction to poetry.  We’ll see how poems are put together and we’ll learn how to figure them out.  Poets may include Herbert, Hardy, Hopkins, Housman, Dickinson, Frost, W. C. Williams, Gw. Brooks, Heine, Pushkin, Lermontov, Akhmatova.  All reading is in English; we’ll make use of non-English originals when possible.
