Description

Overview:

Catalog description: ENG 106 will present to the student a wide range of poetry from various time periods and cultures. Course work will involve students in the consideration of poetic technique and expression. Theme, structure, and style will be emphasized, as well as the elements of poetry. At the discretion of the Instructor, students may also be required to participate in creative writing assignments to gain insight into the nature of poetry.

Additional words from Amy: This course will be geared toward helping you learn ways of reading, enjoying, and appreciating poetry. To do this, we'll read a wide variety of poems from different cultures and times. Keeping in mind that poetry is a form of artistic expression, our ultimate goal will be to discover ways that poetry can guide our understanding of a culture, a time, and/or of human experience. In order to notice and discuss the effects that poems have on readers, you'll also work with the language used to describe techniques that poets use in their art.
