AFRICAN AMERICAN POETRY AND POETICS (3) Robbins Limit 25
This course will explore the category, history, and development of African American poetry from Phillis Wheatley to the present. We will focus on poetry and poetics specifically but will consider the general movement of literature produced by African American writers over the course of three centuries. We will read works by the key contributors to this particular American literary tradition with the goal of understanding the aesthetic, cultural, and critical legacy of African-American poetry to the American literary and musical sensibility of the 21st century. From 18th century odes to 19th century shouts and spirituals to the jazz poets of the Harlem Renaissance to Black Arts poetry to the blues, hip hop, and rap tradition, we will examine the role that race, cultural identity, legal status, and the impersonal structures (or shackles) of poetic forms have played in shaping and reshaping African American verse.
