Here's the revised poetry list for English 1080. I've had to cut the ones that would've taken two or more classes each to discuss. No time, granny no time (Bugs Bunny reference--look it up. It's probably on You Tube.) This is all we'll have time for this semester. I got too ambitious with the Yeats and the Ginsberg especially. Next time, I might start with those.
Here goes. This is what we'll be doing for the rest of the term:
1. “Stopping By Woods” by Robert Frost (Handout)
2. “Daffodils” by W. Wordsworth (Handout)
3. “London” by William Blake (Handout)
4. “Constantly Risking Absurdity” by Lawrence Ferlinghetti (442)
5. “Things” by Lisel Mueller (445)
6. “Not Waving But Drowning” by Stevie Smith (433)
7. “True Love” by Judith Viorst (Handout)
8. “My Mistress’ Eyes” by William Shakespeare (405)
9. “A Kite is a Victim” by Leonard Cohen (452)
10. “My Papa’s Waltz” by Theodore Roethke (354)
11. “Do Not Go Gentle Into that Good Night” by Dylan Thomas (438)
That should keep us busy.
More to come.
