This course will examine how a poem creates its argument through the emotional and sonic logic of the line. We will not only pay attention to the line as the fundamental unit of meaning in a poem but also engage with how the emotional context created in the line is shifted from line to line, ultimately creating a rhetorical argument for the complex emotional conditions under which a poem occurs. Additionally, classes will examine how elements of the line, such as length, rhythm, and sonic qualities such as assonance and consonance help construct the emotional “sense” of a given unit of meaning, and how that sense is transferred, refigured, and built upon by the same devices.
