In this course, we will spend the semester close-reading a wide range of poems from various very well-known poets to less known ones from across Spanish-speaking Latin America. We will first look into what translation of poetry means and how important it is as all the poems will be read in English translations from Spanish. We will cover roughly the whole 20th century. Most importantly, the course will emphasize the pleasure of reading poems and talking about them. At the end of the course, students will have a better knowledge of Hispanic poetry which is often overlooked in our Central European discourse. They will also understand the basic development of literary and poetic genres in Latin America and their connection to Europe. Speaking Spanish is not a requirement for this course as its goal is to make the great poets of Latin America more approachable to a wider audience. English is required.<br>
