Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches: Over the past decade African American poetry has received critical acclaim and international attention. Since the publication of Phillis Wheatley’s poetry in the late eighteenth century, African American poetry has served as a vital source of innovation, inspiration, and formal experimentation addressing pressing issues in American society, culture, and politics. Today African American poets like Terrance Hayes, Amanda Gorman, Tracy K. Smith, Claudia Rankine, giovanni singleton, Robin Coste Lewis, and Douglas Kearney have created a multilayered and multiform poetry to interrogate the language, culture, and history that shaped America. In this graduate seminar we will discuss most recent poetry collections and explore their formal diversity and their historical richness in terms of how they are used to trace the fault lines of race, political oppression, gender, environment, and technology. You need to purchase the following paperback editions: Tracy K. Smith, Wade in the Water: Poems (2018) Terrance Hayes, American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin (2018) Amanda Gorman. Call Us What We Carry (2021) Additional reading material will be made available at the beginning of the term.
