HISP 362 - Contemporary Latin American Poetry


Poetry might seem less relevant to the cultural debates and social issues facing Latin America and Spain, and certainly more critical attention is paid to supposedly more accessible types of cultural production such as film, performance, and television. Yet there is a vibrant level of poetic production in the Hispanic world today, making poetry one of the most popular contemporary genres. I n this course we will explore poetry’s relevance in contemporary Hispanic cultures and what makes it such a powerful form for those who write and read it.
