Length: 500-750 words Due: May 18,at the end of lecture Reading Ben Lerner’s The Hatred of Poetry, you’ll find that he does the sort of work that you do in ENGL 10: he looks closely at poems and he makes arguments. In his case, he makes arguments about individual poems, about poetry in general, about human psychology, and about the role that art might play in our lives. Where your work and his work overlap, you’re both doing “criticism,” a term that refers to an amorphous set of practices including close reading, historiography, psychology, sociology, and so on. When you do criticism, that is, you are simply saying something about objects in the world and about what they mean, and then you’re supporting these argumentative claims with evidence. Do you think a poem or a novel or a film is good? Do you think it’s bad? Why is it good or bad? What makes a film good or bad? When you begin asking this sort of question, you eventually end up at a set of broad, philosophical questions of the sort that Lerner broaches: What makes poetry worth reading? What should poetry do? What have people said about poetry, and are they correct? For this assignment, you’re expected to disagree with Lerner on a point that he makes somewhere in his long essay. Reading The Hatred of Poetry, you should find a statement with which you disagree, and then you should explain why you disagree with it. For your argument to be effective, you need first to outline Lerner’s argument — What does he believe? Why does he believe what he believes? — and then you should explain why you think he’s incorrect, providing evidence to support your more correct argument. Does he operate from faulty assumptions? Does he mis-read a poem? Does he misunderstand something crucial about art, humanity, politics, culture? For this assignment, be sure to participate in your writing groups and be sure to submit your writing-group correspondence. As always, your papers should be formatted according to the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Paper
