Abstract

The first class in Basic Poetics taught by Allen Ginsberg in 1980 at Naropa. This session discusses Shakespeare's poetry and the Lyric and Ballad poets, juxtaposing these with Modernist, Futurist, and contemporary poets such as William Carlos Williams, Ezra Pound, Charles Reznikoff, and David Cope in order to show the evolution and direction of poetics. Ginsberg ends the session by reading extensively from Cope's selected works.
