| This seminar will discover the major poets and the major issues writing from the 1950- 2005. Although we will be using a text, the seminar will consist in a large part of supplementary material determined in part by the participants in the seminar. Students are encouraged to bring in materials -- poems, performances, disks, etc, that will contribute to the discussion of the nature, characteristics, forms, and direction of contemporary poetry. We will begin the semester by exploring the ‘first generation:’ Jack Kerouac, Frank O'Hara, Allen Ginsberg, Charles Bukowski, then proceed to ‘classic’ contemporary poets such as Louise Gluck, Mark Strand, Robert Haas, Sharon Olds, Galway Kinnell, Anne Sexton, and others. Finally we will study the “Language” poets, such as Charles Bernstein and Robert Perlman, the Nuyoricians, the Midrashic feminists, and others.
