This website contains a variety of information not found on our syllabus. If you follow the "schedule" link above (or in the navi-bar below)
for
example, you'll find a detailed list with dates of the individual poems due
for the poet we are currently studying. This schedule of poems will be updated
constatntly, changing to meet out needs as the class progresses. The "Poets"
link will take you to a list of links that I suggest might be helpful to you
in your web research. The "Links" button will give you any additional
general links to follow, and here you might also find and important secondary
readings I might post for you. One of our primary goals in this class will be
to discvover just what the "Modern" in modern poetry means. Take,
for example, the Joseph Stella painting on the right. Painting, the sister art
of poetry, can often help us visualize just what "modern" looks like.
In what ways is this painting modern? How does it shed light on modern poetry?
