This course is designed especially for the non-English major. It is designed to introduce students to the writing of exceptional religious poetry across cultures and throughout time. This course will also emphasize fundamental principles of English as a discipline, including: attentive and generous readings of texts; the use of primary and secondary sources in interpreting texts; and analysis of both the form and content of a particular genre, in this case, poetry. No prior knowledge of contemporary American poetry is expected. (SLLT)
