Poet Talk (H224)

H – Literature

For each class meeting, students listen at home to a selected episode from The New Yorker Poetry Podcasts archive. In class we continue the discussion of craft and process begun by the podcast host and guest poet, focusing on the two poems read on the podcast and other poems by the poets. An interest in the craft of poetry and willingness to explore poems through close reading are required. The New Yorker Poetry Podcast is free, available widely on the internet.
