David Kessel discusses Auden with American Corner patrons.
Fulbrighter Continues Poetry Series at the American Corner
On November 12, Fulbrighter David Kessel continued his poetry series at the American Corner. This week's subject was the great Anglo-American poet, W. H. Auden. Auden is not an easy poet, but the group, consisting of several students and professionals dove right in. After listening to a short biography of the poet and a reading of one of his poems, they read it aloud themselves, followed by a discussion. These events give people a unique opportunity both to hear some great poetry in English, and to engage it directly.
