In this seminar, we will read poems by Australian authors from the 19th century to the present.
Students will get to know key authors, themes, and movements in the history of Australian poetry. For every canonical poem we read, we will also look at a less-known perspective from the same period. Through reading Australian poetry, we learn about Australian canonical authors and, at the same time, question what it means to be an ‘Australian’ poet. This seminar will take place via zoom in weekly sessions. The poems will also be made available weekly via Moodle. The seminar will be examined via term paper.
