Message to all ModPo people before ModPo 2019 begins
Hello to all ModPo people!
Greetings from Philadelphia—from the Kelly Writers House, home of ModPo since 2012. “ModPo” is short for “Modern & Contemporary U.S. Poetry,” the 10-week course that is free, non-credit, and open to all.
Yes, we move through the 10 weeks of the syllabus together starting on Saturday, September 7. But, as most of you know, ModPo is open all year. The site is always available.
You are receiving this message because you are enrolled. You need not do anything further to register for the course. You’re all set. BUT….please forward the following link to friends, family, colleagues, students, teachers, et alia, encouraging them to join us:
