Description
Rich in sensation and sense, poetry may be the most expressive of literary genres. In its many forms – from lyric, to ballad, from rhyming and rhythmic to free verse – poetry touches a diversity of individual, social, and cultural worlds. It gives voice to the emotions and ideas that shape human experience. This course helps students to understand and respond to poetic expression. Students will discover poetry, not as a mystery of hidden artistic expression, but as an understandable and enriching art form. Prerequisite: A grade of “C” or higher in ENG101 oir ENG 102.
