【Course Objectives】

 Poetry is often characterized by its expansive scale. For instance, Herman Melville’s Clarel spans approximately 18,000 lines, while the collective volumes of Ezra Pound’s The Cantos and Charles Olson’s The Maximus Poems constitute immense literary undertakings. Such works are not easily approached on a whim. Nevertheless, they undeniably occupy a central position in the history of American literature.

 In this course, we will focus on “mid-length” poems—substantial works that, in recent years, have seldom been granted the opportunity for close reading. For the spring semester, we will take on the challenge of “New Hampshire” (1923) by Robert Frost, a poet synonymous with “regional modernism.” Setting aside his verse dramas, this poem stands as Frost’s longest work. In contrast to Frost, who sought to retreat into the interiority of New Hampshire, we will also read Allen Ginsberg’s “Howl,” which sought to amplify the chaos of the city.

 Our ultimate goal is to read these texts critically and illuminate their poetic craftsmanship. Through this process, students will cultivate the “ability to analyze and synthesize content” and the “skills for accurate and objective research” as outlined in the Curriculum Map, while ultimately learning to savor the intrinsic allure of the works for themselves.

【Course Contents】

 Robert Frost’s “New Hampshire” embodies the quintessential characteristics of his craft: while it possesses the fluent, prose-like quality of casual conversation, it is, in fact, meticulously constructed as formal verse. Furthermore, the poem presents themes that, at first glance, appear deceptively mischievous or elusive. These profound attributes are far from straightforward; therefore, we will consult Walter Jost’s essay, “Rhetorical Investigations of Robert Frost,”, as a critical guide. Similarly, we will conduct a close reading of Allen Ginsberg’s “Howl,” utilizing Robert Pinsky’s “The Discursive Aspect of Poetry” to navigate its unconventional and iconoclastic style.

 The seminar will proceed with designated presenters leading the discussion based on prepared handouts. However, those not presenting are also expected to engage proactively and appreciate the texts with a discerning eye.
