“Poetry in America” explores the diversity of American poetry. Actors, performers, public figures, and everyday Americans join host Elisa New to read and discuss unforgettable American poems. The poems in Season 4 take us from colonial Boston to the halls of Congress, from Texas Hill Country to Central Park.
Join us for an evening with “Poetry in America" as host Elisa New sits down with political consultant David Axelrod to discuss poet Robert Lowell. Lowell was the recipient of a Pulitzer Prize, a National Book Award, served as Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets, and was a Poetry Consultant to the Library of Congress in Washington, DC from 1947 to 1948.
SPONSOR MESSAGE:
For lovers of literature, this mesmerizing descent into Dante's "Inferno" and ascent into "Purgatorio" and "Paradiso" is a must see. Along with snippets from all three canticles of "The Divine Comedy," dubbed one of the greatest achievements in the history of Western literature, the two-part series also chronicles the life of Dante Alighieri, including his exile from Florence and his lifelong inspiration, the fair Beatrice.
Introduce students to a new type of poetry to get their creative juices flowing: diamantes, structured poems with seven lines that form the shape of a diamond.
