| 備考/ NotesNotes |
In a brief essay entitled, “Notes on the Art of Poetry,” Dylan Thomas writes: “If you want a definition of poetry, say: ‘Poetry is what makes me laugh or cry or yawn, what makes my toenails twinkle, what makes me want to do this or that or nothing’, and let it go at that. All that matters about poetry is the enjoyment of it, however tragic it may be. All that matters is the eternal movement behind it, the vast undercurrent of human grief, folly, pretension, exaltation, or ignorance, however unlofty the intention of the poem.” And in the spirit of enjoying the tragic beauty of words, this course will involve the student in a direct confrontation with the poetic works of Dylan Thomas.
Beginning with a reading of Thomas’s early poems and discussion of his unique verse-patterns, the majority of the course will then turn to the analysis of his collected poems. During this course, students will not only interpret the works of Thomas in search of meaning and message, but also to better understand the “technical paraphernalia” of Thomas’s poetry: portmanteau-words, paradox, allegory, allusion, paranomasia, paragram, catachresis, slang, rhyme, rhythm, and more.
This course will also require the student to apply these terms to the analysis of a section of poems and to the writing of an academic essay that describes the structure and symbolism of a chosen poem.
