Description
This course explores poetry and poetic forms written for young people. In any given offering of the course, the poetry studied might have an historical dimension, or the course may focus exclusively on contemporary poetry or poetic forms from one or more regions. Attention is paid to the role that ideological figurations of the child, childhood, or adolescence play in poetic constructions of youth and young readers. Poetic forms studied may include, but are not limited to, nursery rhymes, nonsense verse, slam poetry, hip-hop, rap, dub poetry, novels in verse, plays in verse, and poetry written by young people.
Requisite courses
6 credit hours of First-year English, including ENGL-1001(6) or ENGL-1000(3) [prerequisite(s)].
