Class Details

This course examines American poetry from what one critic has called “the other side of the century”–the lineage of poetry descending from two Modernist forebears, Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein. Focusing on experimental poetry since 1950, we will read poems and essays by those working in Black Mountain, New York School, Beat, Black Arts, Language, Conceptual, Flarf, and digital poetries and poetics.
