CRWR 284 - Subject and Object: Poetry as Fact and Feeling

Semester Offered: Second Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 credits
Attribute: 4HU, WINT

For centuries, poems have been understood as vehicles of spontaneous feeling, of grief, or love, or longing. At the same time, they know themselves to be art objects: planned, plotted, and made. Through reading, writing, and rigorous revision, students will consider how poems negotiate the tensions between subjective experience and objective reality, between feeling and fact, between artifice and authenticity.
