How does contemporary poetry address grief? Can a destabilizing affect take aesthetic form?
This course offers an introduction to Brazilian authors from this century, whose common interest is the creative elaboration of grief. In four classes, participants will learn a brief history of poetry, covering topics such as traditional genres and images, the aesthetic solutions chosen to address the fading of life, the transformation of familiar spaces, the death of loved ones, and the presence of their ghosts.
