Two series of poetry videos for educators and poets

1/25/2015

 
Here are two poetry video series published by The Academy of American Poets that educators who teach poetry will want to add to their virtual resource kits.

The first is P.O.P.: Poets on Poetry by poet-photographer Rachel Eliza Griffiths "featuring contemporary American poets who read both an original poem and a poem by another poet, after which they reflect on their choice. They then answer a question contributed anonymously by a poet in the series, and leave their own question for another to answer" (Griffiths).  There's an article about the series on poets.org. 
The second is the Dear Poet series produced for National Poetry Month 2015. This "multimedia education project invites young people in grades five through twelve to write letters in response to poems written and read by some of the award-winning poets who serve on the Academy of American Poets Board of Chancellors (poets.org)."  Students are invited to write letters to the poets after watching the videos. Letters must be submitted by April 30, 2015.  The project page includes a link to related lesson plans.
You can access videos from both series on the Academy of American Poets YouTube channel.
