ModPo 2017—week 3 begins
We are now in week 3 of ModPo ’17!
We are now in week 3 of ModPo ’17. Here we turn to “chapter 2,” the rise of modernism.
As usual, we strongly recommend the following process: (1) read a poem, (2) watch a video of us discussing the poem, (3) click on the link to the subforum for general discussion of that poem in order to see what other ModPo people are saying about it, and contribute your own comment or question if you like; and then (4) do the same for the next poem.
Our live webcast this week is on Wednesday starting at 9 PM Philadelphia time.
During week 3 we are also writing comments on each others’ essays (essay #1). Find the “essays” forum on this page and look at the essays posted to the “essay #1” subforum. Pick four (or more) and offer a response/comment/review!
If you have questions, email us at modpo@writing.upenn.edu.
