the only spenser I've read is the faerie queene...so if you've assigned that, you are a heartless, cruel man.. but probably for other reasons. I mean, it's not bad, but it is freaking long! as far as love poetry, it's hilarious to be as cynical and prosaic(al?) as possible. your class is crazy if they can't appreciate that.
I can't imagine ever teaching the whole Faerie Queen. I do like Book 1, but this was just a sonnet from his sonnet sequence, Amoretti. It;s sappy, you're so beautiful I'll write a poem about you and then your beauty will last forever stuff. Some chicks, apparently, still dig the mushy stuff.
