ENG 407 - Literary Forum: Tabula Poetica Poetry Reading Series

Prerequisite, ENG 204. Literary Forum studies four contemporary poets and their work in conjunction with a lecture and reading series sponsored by Tabula Poetica: Poetry at Chapman University. Lectures and readings are conducted by poets held every year during the fall semester, and the course reading, analysis, and writing assignments are based on the visiting writers’ works. In addition, students enrolled in this course present a poetry reading and/or lecture. This course will focus not only on the series’ writers, but on contemporary poetry in general, incorporating work beyond American when appropriate. This course may be used to satisfy the post-1850 distribution requirement for English majors. (Offered fall semester.) 3 credits
