| In 1979, Michael Ondaatje announced that “the most interesting work being done by poets today can be found within the structure of the long poem.” Over forty years later, Ondaatje’s statement still applies. This course offers a survey of contemporary Canadian long poems, using The New Long Poem Anthology as a primary source. Assignments include response papers, seminar presentations, discussion facilitations, and a final term paper. Must be a graduate student in English. |
