Thomas Dikant
Comments
In this seminar, we will discuss poetry written in the United States between 1945 and the 1980s. We will study the various influential literary movements and schools of the time, such as the Black Mountain School, the San Francisco Renaissance, the Beat Generation, the New York School of Poetry, the Black Arts Movement, and Language poetry. Authors will include: Charles Olson, Jack Spicer, Elizabeth Bishop, John Ashbery, Frank O’Hara, Allen Ginsberg, Amiri Baraka, Gwendolyn Brooks, Sylvia Plath, Robert Lowell, and Lyn Hejinian. We will examine these works both in terms of their poetics and aesthetics and their interplay with the politics of the postwar era. close
