Description
From the editors who first shaped her posthumously discovered poems into publishable form to the recent scholars who have sought to restore their category-defying strangeness, Emily Dickinson’s writing has thrust readers into acts of co-creation and spontaneous poetic theory, as well as critical reflections on method. In this class, we will read multitudes of Dickinson’s tiny, mind-opening poems in dialogue with relevant problems in lyric theory, historical poetics, and queer/feminist, ecocritical, and materialist studies. Assignments will challenge seminar participants to hone their practice of critical reading and writing and reflect consciously on questions of method.
