  • Summary

  • This course introduces students to the imaginatively diverse and fascinating range of literary works written in English, primarily from the twentieth and twenty- first centuries, including poems, short stories, plays, and novels. We will explore how literature helps us to deepen and clarify aspects of our lives that we have never been able to recognize fully or articulate consciously. We will look at a good deal of Indigenous and Canadian literature so that we may connect our own experiences with the literature of our time.

Tune in to also hear songs from Tanya Davis with her ode to the "Thesaurus," from her album Gorgeous Morning (2008), and shake off all your spelling woes dancing to Rich Aucoin's "Undead" from his EP Public Publication (2010).
