IN RECENT YEARS, HOWEVER, SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE, DEFORESTATION, OCEAN ACIDIFICATION, AND OTHER HUMAN- CAUSED, YET STILL "NATURAL" PROCESSES HAVE RESULTED IN A NEW CONCEPTUALIZATION OF BOTH HUMAN AND NATURAL HISTORY: WE NOW LIVE IN A GEOLOGICAL AGE THAT IS DRAMATICALLY IMPACTED BY HUMAN EXISTENCE. THIS EPOCH-THE GEOLOGICAL AGE DEFINED BY HUMAN INFLUENCE-IS THE ANTHROPOCENE.THIS COURSE INTERROGATES HOW THE CONCEPTUALIZATION-AND STARK REALITY-OF THE ANTHROPOCENE CHANGES THE WAY WE UNDERSTAND AND ENTER INTO ITS CHARACTERISTIC ENTANGLEMENTS OF HUMAN ACTIVITIES |

THEIR VIBRANT RECLAMATION OF THE OFTEN LOST CLASSICAL SYMBIOSIS BETWEEN POETRY (OR THE LYRIC) AND PROTEST HAS RE-SET THE STAKES OF AMERICAN POETRY. IN THIS COURSE, WE WILL TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW THEY DO WHAT THEY DO. HOW DOES A POEM COME TO MEAN THIS RATHER THAN THAT TO US? WHAT TURNS OF LANGUAGE, ADDRESS, TONE, AND PAGE SETTING CREATE THEIR PARTICULAR WORLDS OF DESIRE, LAMENT, AND OUTRAGE? WE WILL TRY TO SITUATE OUR POEMS IN RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER EXPRESSIVE CONVENTIONS, BE THEY POETIC, MUSICAL, OR LINGUISTIC. NO NEED FOR PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH POETRY BUT COME WITH A CURIOSITY TO LEARN ABOUT THIS EMERGING POETRY 'SCENE'. |
