ITLT 030 - (LT) Italian American Poetry

Semester Hours: 3
Periodically
Taught in English translation, this course will introduce students to the poetry of writers who are either Italians writing in America or Italian American writers who write in both English and Italian. Discussions will focus on how featured writers tend to define their identity. The thrust of the work will be close readings of the poetry, with an attention to structures, rhetorical figures, and register. Students will study such writers as Giosé Rimanelli, Maria Mazziotti-Gillan, Robert Viscusi, Giovanni Cecchetti, Victoria Surliuga, Sandra Mortola Gilbert, Luigi Fontanella and Daniela Gioseffi.

Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
