Instructor: Walter Thames

This is a survey of important works of American poets who created poetry about America in the early part of the century: Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, Edgar Lee Masters, Carl Sandburg, T.S. Elliot, Ezra Pound, Lee Cummings, and others. Throughout the six sessions, we will explore significant poems from these artists as they confront world wars, economic tumult, and the dramatic technological changes of the period.
