课程概述

ModPo is a FREE (no fee, no charge) fast-paced introduction to modern and contemporary U.S. poetry, with an emphasis on experimental verse, from Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman to the present. Participants (who need no prior experience with poetry) will learn how to read poems that are supposedly "difficult." We encounter and discuss the poems one at a time. It's much easier than it seems! Join us and try it! ModPo is open all year, so you can enroll now, or any time, and join us. Each year we host a lively, interactive 10-week session, in which we move together through the ten-week syllabus. The next live 10-week session of ModPo will begin on August 31, 2025, and will conclude on November 10, 2025. Al Filreis will be in touch with you by email before the September 1 start of the course with all the information you'll need to participate. If you have questions, you can email the ModPo team any time at [email protected]. Much more information about ModPo can be found at modpo.org. During the 10 weeks of the course, you will be guided through poems, video discussions of each poem, and community discussions of each poem. And (unique among open online courses) we offer weekly, interactive live webcasts. Our famed TAs also offer office hours throughout the week. We help arrange meet-ups and in-site study groups. If you are curious about the ModPo team, type "ModPo YouTube introduction" into Google or your favorite search engine, and watch the 20-minute introductory video. You will get an overview of the course and will meet the brilliant TAs, who will be encountering the poems with you all the way to the end. If you use Facebook, join the always-thriving ModPo group: from inside Facebook, search for "Modern & Contemporary American Poetry" and then request to be added as a member. If you have any questions about ModPo, you can post a question to the FB group and you'll receive an almost instant reply. Much more information about ModPo can be found at modpo.org . ModPo is hosted by—and is housed at—the Kelly Writers House at 3805 Locust Walk on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia USA. All ModPo'ers are welcome to visit the Writers House when they are in our area. Our discussions are filmed there. Our live webcasts take place in the famed "Arts Cafe" of the House. To find out what's going on at the Writers House any time, just dial 215-746-POEM....

This was a wonderful course. I learned more about stylistic devices, close readings of poems, and was introduced to some very fine poet's!

The course is enriched with tremendous content. It takes all the full hours, days and months to complete this course. As the Coursera is giving opportunity to do multitasking while learning from anywhere, this course seems a bit lengthy and demands full time attention. One may miss the link if one remains irregular. Poetry is a vast filed of thoughts and ideas. Indeed the course opens many new ranges of thoughts and ideas.

What I liked the most about the course is live discussion of the poems. Many poems were very difficult to understand but when more than two people get together to churn and decipher the words beyond their face value, any difficult poem becomes easy to grasp.

This course was easy to manage as a self-paced course. I appreciated options to look at additional materials. I liked the interaction in the discussion.

The course is approachable for people with little to no knowledge in poetry yet is interesting and challenging. It is well explained and manageable.

The professor interrupts the panel so much it’s incredibly distracting and it makes even the transcript hard to read.

Al Filreis is an excellent instructor and very charismatic, unfortunately the poetry taught consists of only one worldview: secular humanist. Its too bad, otherwise I would offer 5 stars.
