Prerequisites: EAP 201

This is a foundation course in literature. The course introduces poetry as a genre and examines the ways in which poets seek to use language in an evocative rather than literal manner. Students are introduced to classic examples of lyric and narrative poetry from the Romantic period to present day. They will also discuss how to read and write about poetry. Specific topics, reading lists, and course outlines will be published annually.
