Major Latin American Poets
This course will concentrate on five major Latin American poets of the 20th-C: Jorge Luis Borges (Argentina, 1899-1986), Vicente Huidobro (Chile, 1893-1948), César Vallejo (Peru, 1892-1938), Pablo Neruda (Chile, 1904-1973), and Octavio Paz (Mexico, 1914-1998). These poets have had remarkable impact on younger generations.

Emphasis will be given to textual analysis of the poems and a review of the poetics of each of the authors. (1 unit).
