Whether you already enjoy reading poetry, or even if you have never tried reading poetry before, this course is for you! An informal, relaxed series of classes exploring a range of poems.What do Keats's Ode To A Nightingale, Yeats's Byzantium, and Blake's Tiger have in common? They are poems about Art and Imagination. We will explore this theme in these and other poems drawn from the Works of Wallace Stevens, EE Cummings, Ted Hughes, John Donne and many others. The poems can be sourced from the fifth Edition of the Norton Anthology available in PDF form online free. There will also be Opportunity to look at the work of Maya Angelou and Seamus Heaney. There will be some introductory tutor input on how we talk about poetry and the methods poets use to convey meaning to the reader. Most of the class time, however, will be spent reading selected poems and discussing our ideas and responses to them. Remember, responding to poetry has little to do with being right or wrong: your own responses will be invited and valued.
