Description
This course introduces students to various features and forms of poetic discourse. While historical context informs lectures and class discussion, the course focuses on the figural elements of poetry (such as rhythm and rhyme, diction and tone, metaphor and allegory). By engaging in thorough discussions and varied writing assignments, students learn to become more appreciative, critical readers of poetry, and in the process expand the possibilities of their own writing.
