Course Description

 
Explore a diverse array of poets and poems from the modernist movement, 1910 to the mid-1940s, a time when poetry took a distinctive break from past traditions and forms. Our poets include Robert Frost, the quintessential New England poet; The Chicago modernists, Edgar Lee Masters, and Carl Sandburg; the allusive and surrealist T.S. Eliot; the exuberant and liberating New York modernists, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Dorothy Parker, and Hart Crane; poets of scientific rigor, Marianne Moore, and William Carlos Williams; and the poets of the Harlem Renaissance, Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, and Claude McKay. All these poets followed the
modernist imperative to “Make it new”. Enjoy discovering their diverse styles, subjects, and emotions. There will also be opportunities to discover your own style and write a poem to share with the class!
