Meta: the course blog all in one page, plus some wrap-up

Wrap-up. An introduction. Lord Rochester. Binnie's Nevada.

Jane Austen. Audre Lorde. Mansfield and Lawrence and other modernists. More Lawrence.

Renaissance sonnets. Walt Whitman. Lorca break: Lorca's Whitman Ode in Kline's English and in Lorca's Spanish. A nonacademic host for the full text in Spanish of Poeta en Nueva York.

Recommended writers of color (also furries). Oscar Wilde. James Baldwin. More sonnets (also "Goblin Market").

Tamara Faith Berger. Live on stage. Alison Bechdel. Sedgwick and Lockwood.

Who is apparently writing? Who does she think will be reading? Is there a speaker, narrator, persona?

Fabula vs. syuzet: what happens and how it's told. The town, the map and the direction of the journey. Choices about chronology.

A medium. Another medium. Another medium.

Two genres. Another genre. How many genres?

Ask what it's not. Look for allusions. Look for recommended precedents.

Ask why a work begins where it begins, and ends where it ends.
We say we have sexualities. We have triangles. Not necessarily the only way. Older models.

Intersections and intersectionality.
