Let's break all the rules with U.S. literature outsiders

The poet Diane Wakoski says, "“American poetry is always about defining oneself individually, claiming one’s right to be different and often to break taboos. Distinctly American poetry is usually written in the context of one’s geographic landscape, sometimes out of one’s cultural myths, and often with reference to gender and race or ethnic origins... America may be a melting pot, but most American poets think of themselves as separate, different, and while very specially identified with some place in America or some set of cultural traditions, it is usually about the ways in which they discovered their differences from others and proudly celebrate them.” Emily Dickinson, with her blatant disregard for punctuation, bold conjectures about life and death, and unconventional life choices, certainly fits this description.

This self-paced U.S. literature class This self-paced literature class includes a full year of history classes, including readings, lectures, projects, papers, and exams. (You will need to provide copies of The Awakening and We Have Always Lived in the Castle, but everything else is included.)
