FYSP 111 - Words That Matter

4 HU, Wri
First Semester. Through intensive study of poetic language—language, that is, at its most concentrated, deliberate, and artful—we will seek to become more critically aware of language in general. How do words matter? How do they shape our sensory, emotional, and social experience? Readings will include lyric poems, some critical essays, and a few novels, including Gardner’s Grendel, Kingston’s The Woman Warrior, and Maclean’s A River Runs Through It.
