Kommentar: This graduate seminar will survey the evolution of poetry written by black poets from Phillis Wheatley to Claudia Rankine, and beyond. In addition to close readings of indidivual poems, we will also be looking at how these writers confront oppression and protest and seek meaning and freedom in life and literature. Course readings will be based on the recent anthology collection "African American Poetry: 250 Years of Struggle & Song", edited by Kevin Young. Students are encouraged to buy this book to participate fully in discussion.
