WiSe 24/25: PS-Surveying English Literatures: Forming Poetry

Jordan Schnee

Comments

Against the backdrop of the rise of free verse, the 20th century also saw a movement towards extremely constrained writing. This seminar examines form writing in English with a focus on contemporary manifestations. Some questions we will explore in the course are: How does form potentiate poetry? Does form help writers address traumatic topics? How do “difficult” constraints paradoxically create bountiful possibilities for writers and readers?

In this course, after a review of different poetic forms and how to identify them, we will read the books Darkling by Anna Rabinowitz and parts of Eunoia and The Xenotext I by Christian Bök. We will also get acquainted with Roland Barthes’ theories and look at contemporary English form poetry publisher Penteract Press.
