The Australian Poetry Centre "Poetry: History & Appreciation" - 6 sessions from October 22 to November 26 2009.

Poetry: History & Appreciation is a 6-week course on the art of poetry and its long history, ranging from the storytelling and choric roles of preliterate cultures, to our own time. We will look at how Classical cultures, Christianity, the rise of printing and of the electronic media affected poetry’s themes and its forms. The course will also show how Australian poetry rose out of Western traditions, and will speculate on where poetry might be going next. Some key poems will be looked at in detail, but the broad, changing picture will be kept in mind. All interested readers or writers are welcome.
