This course introduces students to the study of poetry through the analysis of a variety of short poems from different historical periods. Poems will be discussed in terms of their diction, imagery, figures of speech, rhyme, rhythm, metre, tone, speaker, structure, and form. Some attention will be given to interpreting a poem in the context of the poet's other works, literary tradition, criticism, revisions, history, or culture.
