ENGL 2951
Poetry's Image

Course information provided by the 2026-2027 Catalog.

Where do we get our images of poets, and of poetry? Along with the images we find in poems themselves, how do poetry and poets figure in fiction and film, in music and popular culture? How do such figures inform both the images we find in poems and poetry's own image? What is poetry’s relation to other genres and discourses, to self and language, history and politics? Exploring such issues in verse and prose, in fiction, film, and other media, including among others Blake, Wordsworth, Keats, Dickinson, Poe, Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Pound, Williams, Neruda, Parra, and Bolaño, the course will arc toward impactful recent interventions by such contemporaries as Claudia Rankine, Layli Long Soldier, Ilya Kaminsky, Jenny Xie, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries, and A.I.-generated poetry.
