In honor of National Poetry Month, Brittain Fellow Jeff Fallis returns to the podcast to discuss what may be literature’s most ill-defined, misunderstood, and maligned genre. As recipients of 2016-2017 Poetry@Tech Pedagogy Grants, Jeff and I talk about some of the ways that we have integrated poetry into our composition classrooms, touching on the reading of poetry, the writing of poetry, the teaching of poetry, and even the hatred of poetry along the way.
The podcast can be played using the embedded player above, or downloaded as an mp3 file.
