Description:
|
John F Kennedy famously said that Robert Frost ‘bequeathed his nation a body of imperishable verse’. From his mastery of traditional verse forms and metrics, to depictions of rural New England, to his command of American colloquial speech, arguably, no poet is more essential to an understanding of American poetry than Robert Frost. In this course we will closely examine several of Frost’s poems. We’ll look at Frost’s use of trimeter, iambic pentameter, and blank verse, consider his unmistakable tone and use of the dramatic monologue, and consider themes such as duplicity, isolation, nature, and existential questioning, and then try our hand and our own poems. This course is for anyone interested in investigating Frost more deeply and learning from one of the true masters. No experience necessary.
