" English 641: Form and Technique in Poetry A poem is a vehicle of content, a formal object, and an historical and theoretical artifact—and when those aspects are experienced in complementary relationship, a poem is also a thing of pleasure. Class discussions will keep that central fact in mind as we consider common methods for reading and responding to poetry, as well as observe the ways poets have chosen to work their art. By the end of the course, students should be able to talk and write more confidently about what a poem means and how it makes meaning. Additionally, they should better understand some of the historical contexts in which past and present poetries have developed. "

Event Title

Saving Sylvia: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Genius, Gender, and Madness

Description

An interdisciplinary exploration of the links between "genius" and "madness," madness and gender, and gender and genius offers several perspectives of the Sylvia Plath effect. Despite the historical trends related to this issue, there are lessons to be learned and help to be offered to future female poets so that they are able to thrive in their profession as well as in their personal lives. Therefore, philosophical, medical, and literary perspectives are reframed here as potential solutions and suggestions, enabling the mentors of postgraduate/professional female poets to encourage the stability and eminence of those under their tutelage by mitigating the effects of mental illness and increasing sustainable creativity.

"Knowing the imperfection of repair, I realize it's not something in me that is causing the contradictions it is something that is not. A discarded shard.

A sobering thought the longer one lives, the more times a part of them will be injured and subsequently fixed - minus bits of essence. Therefore, death is the suspension of the continuous cycle of breakdown.

Is death then a pleasure because it is the end of pain and the erosion of self?"

Whatever it was -

love, maybe sepsis? - no drug

could cure or treat it.

Cimarron Burt is a poet/educator pursuing her M.F.A. in southern Minnesota. Her poetry has appeared in 3Element Literary Review, Corvus Review, and A Quiet Courage. She self-publishes regularly on Tumblr and WordPress as "Literary Accidents."
