The final paper of the semester is a 6 to 9 pg. double-spaced essay[1]. The topic must be based on the work of one or more of our assigned authors. Ideas for your project may develop from class discussions, exercises, presentations, proclamations, and denunciations. Please discuss your ideas with me ahead of time[2]. Proposed topics are due by Nov. 19th. Your final is due on final exam day (DEC 14TH).
Prompt:
Compare/contrast two types of poetry (i.e., experimental and sonnet, prose poems and hybrid, performance vs. epic). Is there a difference in how one is read or composed? Support your arguments using at least three elements of poetry we’ve discussed (tone, form, meter, pacing, image, etc.) and 2 scholarly sources.
[1] Models can be provided.
[2] Consider: personal and world identity, craft and structure, observations and revisions of past and present, visions for the future, experimental modes of prose and verse, spare or ornate, fragmented or maximalist, aesthetics, truth, seeing & feeling, worlds from words, etc.
