Poetry in America for Teachers: The City from Whitman to Hip Hop (Trailer)

Poetry in America For Teachers is a course designed specifically for secondary school educators interested in developing their expertise as readers and teachers of literature. In this course, available for professional development, undergraduate credit, or graduate credit, we will consider those American poets whose themes, forms, and voices have given expression to visions of the city since 1850. Beginning with Walt Whitman, the great poet of nineteenth-century New York, we will explore the diverse and ever-changing environment of the modern city - from Chicago to London, from San Francisco to Detroit - through the eyes of such poets as Carl Sandburg, Emma Lazarus, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Langston Hughes, Marianne Moore, Frank O’Hara, Gwendolyn Brooks, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Hayden, and Robert Pinsky, as well as contemporary hip-hop and spoken word artists.
