| Aperçu général : | [Ce séminaire bénéficiera de la collaboration du M. David Caplan, professeur Fulbright attaché au Service de littératures anglaises modernes et littérature américaine] Poetic form fascinates American poets. They furiously debate seemingly technical questions, arguing whether certain verse forms are reactionary or offer models for social justice. This quirk defines American poetic culture, inspiring a series of poetry wars centered on competing notions of form. For many American poets, poetics is where art and politics meet. This seminar will investigate why and how. We will study the ways in which recent poetry collections respond to debates about artistic technique, literary politics, and culture. We will test polemics against individual poems, careful to note if the critical statements accurately characterize the creative work. Our attention will focus on how even an apparently minor matter such as a poet's eccentric enjambment finely intertwines the aesthetic and the political, the idiosyncratic and the shared. Our purpose is twofold: to recognize the vibrant, diverse, and contentious fields of contemporary American poetry and poetic form and to understand the social visions that inspire the artistry. | ||
