ModPo: two discussions of Dickinson manuscripts filmed at the Morgan Library

Two new close-reading videos are now available at ModPo. They were filmed by Chris Martin & Zach Carduner on March 9, 2017 — as Emily Harnett, Ali Castleman, and I were joined by Morgan curator Carolyn Vega. As we recorded improvised close readings of Dickinson’s “Alone and in a Circumstance” and “The way Hope builds his House,” we stood next two the original in-pencil manuscripts. These views have now been added to chapter 1.1 (week 1) of the ModPoPLUS syllabus inside the ModPo site. That part of the syllabus, with links, is reproduced here just below. If you are not yet enrolled in ModPo, the links won’t work. By enrolling in ModPo HERE (it’s free and open all year) you will be able to use these links to read the poems, look at the manuscripts, and watch the video discussions.
