In this class, we’ll take a globetrotting tour of the field of contemporary poetry and poetics, surveying recent English-language work by poets from a wide variety of countries — Canada, Mexico, Australia, Germany, England, and Armenia, among others — along with the United States. Aside from exploring the distinct national perspectives embodied in each poet’s work, we’ll also consider the way in which current events and the boundary-erasing nature of our hyper-connected world serve as unifying forces.
