Assignment 1 Literary Criticism Due September 21, 2020 11:59 PM Instructions Q- How reasonable and sustainable is the idea of poetry as a well forged urn as conceptualised by Brooks in his eponymous text? Discuss this with help of TWO poems. 1. You can choose to either respond or develop or critique Brooks’ idea of close reading/ or do all. It would be good to have an argument in mind. 2. You may choose any one of the following poems as Text 1, whichever you are comfortable with. Translations by Adrienne Rich- https://kinnareads.com/2015/05/13/translations-by-adrienne-rich/ Spring by Edna St Vincent Millay – https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44728/spring-56d223f01f86e Sea breeze, Bombay by Adil Jussawalla- https://scroll.in/article/825331/sea-breeze-bombay-a-poem-by-adil-jussawalla Living Space by Imtiaz Dharker- https://www.lyrikline.org/en/poems/living-space-14094 In a Station of the Metro by Ezra Pound- https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poems/12675/in-a-station-of-the-metro 3. Your Text 2 is the poem you have already picked from your syllabus. (The poem I’ve chosen is The Crow Testament by Sherman Alexie) 4. Separate close readings of each text is encouraged. Comparitive reading should not come at the cost of one of the texts, though it will be especially useful for writing a final word/conclusion to your argument. 5.
