Learn new ways to approach, read, and listen to poems that invite readers to perceive a community in new ways. Using Bernard Clay's new collection English Lit and the larger tradition of West Louisville poetry, Dr. David Anderson will show how attention to poetic voice, word choice, structure, and tradition can enhance the experience of poetry, and also deepen appreciation for West Louisville.
