W104 | (More) Poems That Might Be Great | Don Barkin Wednesday - 12:00 - 1:30 p.m. In-person in Stockbridge Closed - at capacity Note: In case of inclement weather, class will move to Zoom |
What makes a poem great? This winter we’ll read some of the world’s most famous poems, and along the way try to figure out what “great” means. We’ll read poems by writers including Emily Dickinson, Wallace Stevens, Elizabeth Bishop, John Keats, Robert Frost, and William Wordsworth. OLLI members who took a previous course, “Poems that Might be Great,” may take this course, as the reading list will be different. Don Barkin has degrees from Harvard College and Cambridge University. He has taught seminars for a number of years at Yale and Wesleyan. He has published three books of poetry. He has been a newspaper reporter and school teacher and is a frequent OLLI at BCC instructor. |
