| A study of American poetry since WW-II in the context of the major schools or movements, with a focus upon work that confronts, extends, refashions or otherwise engages the legacy of modernist poetry (esp. Pound, Eliot, Loy, Stein, Williams, Zukofsky). In addition to reading in terms of schools, we will bring two additional frames to bear. First the course will invite students to review trends in postmodern thought and allied arts and entertain the question of how "postmodernism" intersects with innovative or experimental poetry after. Second, using a recent anthology, we will consider whether the postmodern vein extends to the new millenium.
