ModPo Free Online Class

The Kelly Writers House is hosting a free, open, non-credit online course (via Coursera) Modern & Contemporary American Poetry taught by Al Filreis, University of Pennsylvania. “ModPo is a fast-paced introduction to modern and contemporary U.S. poetry, from Dickinson and Whitman to the present. Participants (who need no prior experience with poetry) will learn how to read poems that are supposedly ‘difficult.'” It begins on September 7, 2013.
