ENGL 160S SC - Postwar American Poetry


This course will examine a variety of influential schools of post-1945 American poetry, including (among others) the Beats, the Black Mountain poets, the San Francisco Renaissance, the New York School, the Black Arts Movement, the Confessional poets, and LANGUAGE poetry. We'll explore American poetry through a variety of lenses, with the goal of understanding how aesthetic and social practices shape our understanding of the very category of American poetry. This course meets the senior seminar requirement for Scripps English majors (please see "Senior Requirement in the English major" in the catalog) but is open to all students.
