Writing Workshop: Long Poem

Catalog description

The long poem might be considered in several ways: as an archive; as an epic; as a serial poem; as a history; as a city of syntax. This course examines this genre from a number of angles. Some thematic approaches might include the feminine epic, the twentieth-century long poem, the relationship between the long poem and place, a long poem as the "rejection of closure," or the relationship between the long poem and the pastoral. Prerequisite: COR110. Co-requisite: WRI210.
