| Course Description | This course examines how poets have engaged with emerging media in the postwar era. We will trace the intersections of poetry with photography, television, video, visual and concrete poetry, and digital environments, and we will consider how shifts in media reshape ideas of authorship, reading, and the materiality of language. Readings to include Marshall McLuhan, John Cage, Frank O’Hara, Charles Olson, Amiri Baraka, Alison Knowles, Hollis Frampton, N.H. Pritchard, Gil Scott-Heron, Jayne Cortez, Bernadette Mayer, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Tan Lin, Glenn Ligon, Jordan Abel, Lillian-Yvonne Bertram, and Nick Montfort. |
