“To have great poets,” Walt Whitman said, “there must be great audiences, too.” He wanted not just many readers but also able readers, open-minded and demanding. It’s a need we still have today. Are all poems good? What makes a poem worth the effort of reading it? How do we enjoy and judge the seemingly obscure or difficult poem? To get at such questions we will do a lot of reading, a bit of writing, and a great deal of discussion. This time we’ll go by themes and techniques, including sessions on the sonnet, nature poetry, strongly imagistic poetry, confessional poetry (when does it work?) and political poetry (does it ever work?).
