ENG106Z Intro to Poetry

Campus contacts

The study of poetry invites us to delve into the biggest questions about life and culture alongside the seemingly smallest issues of words and sounds. English 106Z provides opportunities for the appreciation of poetry, including deeper awareness of craft and insight into how reading poetry can lead to self-enrichment. Students read a variety of types of poetry and poetic forms, from diverse perspectives and eras, and develop their skills in discussion, literary analysis, and critical thinking. This course is part of Oregon Common Course Numbering. ENG 106 and ENG 106Z are equivalent at PCC. Prerequisites: (RD 115 and WR 115) or IRW 115 or equivalent placement. Audit available. (See course content and outcomes.)
