Introduction to Literature: Poetry 2. Walcott, Heaney, Hopkins, Dickinson, Stevens

From Spring 2020, these are the last of my online lectures from when I was an adjunct professor at the University of Minnesota. The first 2/3 of this Introduction to Literature class, focused on fiction and drama, had been in person; the final third, on poetry, were online lectures during the pandemic. This one discusses Derek Walcott's "A Far Cry from Africa," Seamus Heaney's "Digging," Gerard Manley Hopkins's "God's Grandeur," Emily Dickinson's "I Heard a Fly Buzz-When I Died," and Wallace Stevens's "The Emperor of Ice Cream." The course syllabus is here:
