LIT107 HM - Fourteen Poems: An Introduction to Poetry

Credit(s): 3

Instructor(s): Groves

Offered: Fall, alternate years

Description: In this course, we study what poetry is and how it is used in the world. Neither strictly canonical nor historical in approach, this course introduces students to a wide range of English-language poems, most of them from the last two centuries. In most weeks throughout the semester, we focus on one or two primary poems (fourteen primary poems in all), with the support of companion poems that provide context. This course is writing intensive.
