chiguirre Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I'd prefer a MOOC but I'm flexible. I'm looking for an introduction to poetry written for high school or beginning college students that covers analysis and uses a nice variety of poems.

regentrude Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Maybe not exactly what you are looking for, but I cannot praise highly enough U Penn's Coursera course Modern and Contemporary American Poetry. It is asynchronous during the year, and in the fall they run a semi-synchronous symposium mode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
