Poetry

Favorite Poems [|The Favorite Poem Project] is a site that was developed in conjunction with the development of the favorite poem project that was begun by Robert Pinsky the 39th Poet Laureate of the United States. The project requested that people submit their favorite poems and on the site can see videos of people reciting their poems and discussing the poem's connection to their lives.

Below are links to videos that we will be looking at in the class. The links will take you to the page from which you can find these videos; you will just need to look for each of these readers on this main page and click on their pictures to view the videos.
