ENGG 845 - Poetry Crossing Borders

3 credits
This course seeks to strengthen teachers strategies for evaluating their own interpretations of poetry and responding to their students interpretations of poems. In addition, the course will introduce current scholarship in transnationalism, working on issues related to translation, reception, and revision as texts and people cross borders. We will look both at poetry from other parts of the world (such as African oral poetry and Korean poetry) and at American poets engagement with poets from other linguistic, cultural, and national traditions. Teachers will have an opportunity to use the Dodge Poetry Festival archives to conduct research and/or build curriculum units. Archival Studies students will be able to work with archival materials as well as learn about, and possibly participate in, the process of constructing the archive.
