First Year Ethnolinguistics: Can You Pronunciate That For Me? : Some Poetry Links

As promised Thursday, below is a baker’s dozen of American poets with links to some of their works and to their Wikipedia biographies.

There’s a lot of variety from the early 19th to the late 20th century with male and female, black and white poets who write in a variety of modern and traditional forms.

You can choose an entire poem (that takes at least 60 seconds to recite and normal speed, which is a bit slower than normal speech about like the VOA texts).

You can also choose two or more short poems with a total time of at least 60 seconds. If you choose more than poem they can be from the same or different poets.

You can also choose from poets not listed here but you should clear that with the instructor.

You may also choose song lyrics as a poem but these would require editing (and again should be cleared with the instructor).

These two sites could/should also be interesting:
