ENG 271 Queer Poetics
In this class we will look at the work of several poets in the 20th century through the lens of queer identities both hidden and revealed, and progress to the work of more recent (living) poets including Ocean Vuong, Kaveh Akbar, donika kelly, and others who interrogate syntax, perspective, and form in their poems and who have spoken of their relationship to the poetic tradition as Queer and LGBTQ+ poets.
