Reading Contemporary Writers: Anne Carson: In the arc of literary history, contemporary writing forms the trailing edge; and for student writers, the contemporary forms the immediate context in which they work. Entering the landscape of contemporary writing allows the student of writing (and the student of literature) to gain an awareness of the diversity of approaches and perspectives available and to consider their connections to historical roots. This course involves the close study of contemporary writing in multiple genres. Topics vary and are organized around movements or themes, or the course may focus on a single contemporary author. Consult the instructor for the specific theme. May be repeated up to four times for a maximum of 20 credits. GE: Oral and Written Communication
