This course embarks on an exploration of poetry, delving into the works of renowned American, British, and Chinese masters. We will traverse continents and centuries, uncovering the unique voices and styles that shaped poetic traditions across the globe. The course meeting organization is thematic with each day sampling works that touch on love, sanity, cosmos, war/peace, god and more. A few of the main course objectives include: (1) Analyze and compare the formal structures, thematic concerns, and cultural contexts of Eastern and Western poetry, (2) Develop critical reading skills to dissect poetic language, imagery, and symbolism (3) improve confidence and ability in the art of poetic performance on a stage by exploring tone, posture, vocal projection and more.
