Thanks for all the ideas! I wasn’t clear enough about what I’m after. I am looking for scholarly writings about poetry or scholarly analyses of particular poems—so readings as in “close readings.” What essays or ideas will help get students thinking more generatively about poetry?
Poetry people of the interwebs! I’m designing a new introduction to poetry course for first year students. What are your favorite secondary / scholarly / poetics readings to get students interested and excited? Accessible and mind blowing readings of particular poems welcome too!
