Content
In seminars and workshops students will study and write poems in range of poetic modes. The module begins by looking at the differences between poems that aim for a sense of reduced affect (with feelings and reactions underplayed or implicit) and those that aim for a sense of heightened affect (with feelings and reactions foregrounded and made explicit). The second part of the module explores poetry characterised by extreme brevity (minimalist mode), poems that eschew narrative linearity (disjunctive mode), and poems that foreground language itself as a shaping medium (linguistic mode).
