| Course Section Number: | ENG-108-01 |
| Department: | English |
| Description: | War poetry has been called "a language made of blood." It encompasses some of the most intensely-felt human experiences and emotions: grief, terror, boredom, love, guilt, loss. In this class, we will consider poetry written by soldiers, professional writers, civilians, and protesters. While our focus will be on WWI, Vietnam, and the ongoing wars in the Middle East, we will also read war poetry from the ancient world and from various other perspectives. We will work to explore the vast range of responses to warfare and to consider how poetry offers a unique space for these responses to unfurl. This one-half credit course meets three times a week for the first half of the semester. Prerequisites: none. |
