For Tuesday (5/4)

For Tuesday, let’s read a selection of radical poetry from the 1930s. We’re going to run the class a little differently. In the next couple of days, read through the sheaf of radical poetry and then go to our Radical Poetry Signup Sheet. Choose a poet you like or want to talk about and enter your name in the appropriate box. For our Tuesday morning zoom session bring a couple of questions about the poet’s poem or a couple of responses or ideas to/about the poem. (Make sure you read all the radical poems – – as we want the whole class to discuss your questions/ideas/responses.)
I’ve also started our “Harlem Renaissance Playlist DJ Party” project. You can view the assignment and playlist maker here. (The assignment will be due on Thursday, May 13, at noon.)
