''Alien vs. Predator'? Poetry and Pop Culture' with Kathryn Gray
Is Kim Kardashian a fit subject for great poetry? Can 4chan fire a poet’s imagination? What can Don Draper tell us about the way we live now? This lively fortnightly course will explore what happens when the two apparently hostile worlds of poetry and pop culture meet – and what strange and beautiful music can result. We’ll be reading poets from both the UK and the US who have engaged with mass media, icons, fandom and hype, in ways both explicit and subtle, in order to tell their own story – and the story of an age. We’ll use their example as a stimulus to write our own poems and to discover, along the way, a little more about what it means to be a poet – and human – in the relentlessly shifting twenty-first century.
