ENG 5101-5104 - Foundations in Poetry

3 credit hours

Corequisites: CRW 5101-5104 - Workshop in Poetry
This survey of both canonical and contemporary texts offers a focused study of poetry designed to familiarize students with the major poetic movements in literary history, and to reinforce the relationship between close reading and the production of new work. Students read from an individual reading list developed in consultation with the faculty mentor. The course will include intensive reading, response essays, and short critical analyses. Students will complete a longer critical paper on a specific topic that emerges from their reading experience. The reading list will include, but not be limited to, works based on the optional thematic strand of war literature.

Course may be repeated with course numbers ENG-5102, ENG-5103, ENG-5104.
