Course Description

Throughout history, people have responded to war, oppression, and personal demons with literature. There are the shouts of Allen Ginsburg, Amiri Bakara, Muriel Rukeyser, the whispers of Paul Celan, and the musing of countless others. The very act of writing is a protest against silence, against oppression, against corruption, against the status quo. We will discuss poets and writers who have used their voices, music, metaphor, and imaginations to resist different forms of oppression. Using them as inspiration, we will write our own resistance literature.
