The course reading will focus on the rich diversity of contemporary poetry from the global Black diaspora, with a special emphasis on poetry that investigates the intersections of race, cultural identity, nationhood, gender, and sexuality. Note: No prior knowledge of Black poetry and poetics is required.

ENGLISH 92L: Poems of Love and Sexuality (FEMGEN 92L)
This writing-intensive workshop will explore the tradition of love poetry, paying attention to how poets have represented the amorous and the erotic in their work - powerful longing, steamy encounters, devastating break-ups - from ancient times to today. As we analyze and interpret the ways poems can record shifting attitudes toward sex, gender, queerness, and relationships, we will also focus on the creative process: generating a sequence of our own poems and developing practical writing skills in group poetry workshops.
