In Literature of the Holocaust, we will read and think about how writers and filmmakers have tried to describe the experience and legacy of the Holocaust--the World War II 纳粹对犹太人的种族灭绝.

Instructor: Tobey Kaplan, tkaplan@daves-studio.com

In times of great change, poets unleash magical worlds as they document ordinary life. They teach us to digest difficult experiences and to nurture our hopeful resistance. They ground us in the beauty of a beehive or the wisdom of our ancestors.

 If you are curious how poets create such magic, or if you have unfinished song lyrics and secret poems scribbled in your notebook, then 英语 13A/B is for you. 我们将 read poems from artists like Nikki Giovanni, Martín Espada, Kevin Young, Julian Randall, Mayda del Valle, Danez Smith, and Joy Harjo. 我们将 write daily to play with poetic techniques, and we will share our drafts in a supportive writing workshop 仪式.  By the end of the semester, you will have several poems in your pocket and a list of strategies to use if you want to perform at open-mics or send poems out for publication. 没有以前的 experience with writing poetry required.

“To understand just one life, you have to swallow the world” -  Salman Rushdie.

What do people around the world have in common?  人类状况.  我们都经历过 人生的喜怒哀乐. We love, we aspire, we create, but we also suffer, we 失败,我们毁灭. 在学习的世界 文学, we explore and learn about other cultures, other times. 然而,当我们穿过 cultures and time periods, we also find experiences we have in common. 我们发现 that no man is an island, and that what happens in one place, in one culture, greatly 影响世界其他地区.
