In this class, we will look at poetry in connection to place. While poetry does not have a setting comparable to that of narrative fiction, there are numerous examples in which the category of place is crucial to the poem. We will begin with poems from the early twentieth century, discussing William Carlos Williams' Paterson (1946-1958) before moving to contemporary examples, analyzing Marwa Helal's poetry collection Invasive Species (2019) which reflects on immigration. We will practise poetry analysis, creative writing, and critical discussion in our class time. Please purchase the two books listed below. Other material will be made available on Stud.IP at the beginning of the semester.
- William Carlos Williams, Selected Poems (Penguin Classics, 2000)
- Marwa Helal, Invasive Species (Nightboat Books, 2019).
