CRN: 16812
Credits: 4
This course will focus on the topic of "childhood" and its various depictions/contradictions/tensions in poetry. How do we "write childhood" as a real time, a psychic experience, a verifiable set of events, and a retrospective fantasy that is often mis-remembered and imagined?
