The Irish poet Yeats wrote, “Of our conflicts with others we make rhetoric (essays); of our conflicts with ourselves we make poetry.” In one of his greatest poems, “Easter 1916,” Yeats expresses both awe and dismay at the Irish Republicans bold, doomed Easter Uprising. “A terrible beauty is born,” he wrote.

In this course, we will read poetry that goes deep because it lets itself feel on both sides of a question. We’ll read modern and classic poets such as Shakespeare, Keats, Dickinson, Heaney and Elizabeth Bishop.
