ENGL 2505
Modern Global Poetry

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

How do poems travel in the world? How does the world travel in poems? In this class, we will read poetry written in English from around the world, studying the way poems can speak beyond national borders. English language verse, from early 20th-century modernism to the present day, has sought new forms to face unprecedented global migrations, states of exile, technological interconnections, and ecological changes.  From sonnets to epics, World Wars to Google Earth, we will study poems that ask how race, class, and gender inflect the relationship between local life and cosmopolitan ambition. We will read poets such as T.S. Eliot, Rabindranath Tagore, W.B. Yeats, Lorna Goodison, Langston Hughes, W.H. Auden, Elizabeth Bishop, Derek Walcott, Daphne Marlatt, Christopher Okigbo, Louise Bennett, and Seamus Heaney.
