講義の目的	This course will introduce students to English poetry, from Shakespeare to contemporary writers. The focus of this class will be the concepts and literary devices that govern how poetry (and other forms of literature) is written and read. After studying fixed verse forms like the sonnet, couplet, ballad, villanelle, and sestina we will move on to discussing free verse poetry. You will even write your own poems! Readings will cover a wide range of poetic forms, experiences, and writers including William Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, Elizabeth Bishop, Theodore Roethke, Gwendolyn Brooks, Robert Frost, Langston Hughes, Audre Lorde, Philip Larkin, Simon Ortiz, Sylvia Plath, Wallace Stevens, W.H. Auden, and William Carlos Williams.
到達目標	To gain a better understanding of poetic forms; the principles, concepts, and devices that shape how poetry is written; and the connections between English poetic traditions and American poets. By participating actively in class and completing assigned readings and writing assignments, students will also practice using English to communicate their ideas.
