- Course objectives
- The course will acquaint the students with the latest developments in poetry produced on the British Isles, Ireland included. The aim of the course is to introduce contemporary British and Irish poetry in a way that would enable the students to read, enjoy and appreciate the full scope of its stylistic and formal features, as well as to find an internal connection with its topical, albeit variable, subject matters. Focusing on key themes and issues, and a wide range of poets, the course captures the intersection between the historical and cultural contexts of critical debate today. Through a close-reading of poems by authors such as Simon Armitage, Don Paterson or Kathleen Jamie, the students will get a confident grasp of contemporary poetry and the critical discussions it generates.
