| Course Description: | Sylvia Plath said "I, who reportedly write so truthfully about myself, so openly, am not that open." In this course we鈥檒l trace the ways poets have subverted and expanded our notion of what the confessional poem is, from its 1957 debut, (Robert Lowell鈥檚 Still Life) to the 21st century. Readings will include Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, Audre Lorde, Adrienne Rich, John Berryman, Ntozake Shange, Sandra Cisneros, Afaa Weaver, Maggie Nelson, Sharon Olds, Judy Jordon, and Ocean Vuong, among others. |
