Clark, T. J.: The Sight of Death: An Experiment in Art Writing; Eagleton, T.: How to Read a Poem
Course books will be available from Mrs. Dalloway's (an independent bookstore located at 2904 College Avenue).
This is a seminar in the poetics of reading. Over the course of the semester, students will undertake prolonged, exploratory, multi-contextual readings of a selection of recent and contemporary “difficult” poems. Works by Larry Eigner, Rae Armantrout, Jack Spicer, Ed Roberson, Geoffrey G. O’Brien, Juliana Spahr, and Susan Howe are among those that will be considered. Such works will be read against the backdrop of their historical moment and contextual purport and in conjunction with assigned critical texts, but students will be expected to conduct their own research using primary and secondary sources in the process of coming to relevant, meaningful readings of the poems. Students will be asked to maintain a reading journal and to write two critical papers.
