Contemporary Women Poets

3 credits · Undergraduate

Reading women’s poetry in local and global contexts, this course will address the emergent practices of contemporary poetics in Canada and the United States. The majority of our readings will consist of book-length works of poetry—that is, longer texts that transgress the limits of the lyric and collections of shorter poems linked by various formal, narrative, and thematic continuities. These texts represent some of the key innovations and formations of women’s poetries and poetics from the end of the twentieth to the beginning of the twenty-first centuries.
