Guide Intro

Welcome to the ENG-7007: Poet Lauretes Guide!

This class is designed as a seminar using a constructivist learning approach, that is, students will engage in collaborative learning and will, in a participatory seminar setting, construct their understanding of the issue of voice in poetry, and, through study of many of America’s poets laureate, will examine the concept of an “American Voice.” We will read and discuss the work of a variety of twentieth and twenty-first century American poets laureate in order to consider whether such a thing as an “American poetic voice” exists, and whether there is, has been, or should be, a “representative American voice.” We will also consider the impact individual poets have had on the contemporary American poetic cannon.
