FYSP 044 - Objects and Apparitions: Poetry as Fiction and Fact Semester Offered: First Semester Full Course Credits: 4 credits Attribute: 4HU, WINT
The word “poem” comes from the Greek for “made thing.” What do we mean when we say that a poem is a thing? What do we mean when we say that it is a made-up or fictional thing? ‘Objects and Apparitions’ is a First-Year Seminar concerned with the ways that poems as “made things” straddle the domains of factual, thingly reality on the one hand, and fictional, made-up imagination on the other. We will ask what kinds of work poems do, and what demands we face when we seek to “make sense” of them.
