description: Developed to be used alone or as part of the Annenberg-funded telecourse, MODERN AMERICAN POETS provides a rich collection of American poetry from the 20-century and includes an extensive selection of poems by thirteen poets represented in the film series, as well as additional poems representing the voices and visions of more then 60 other modern American poets. The introduction to reading poetry (Part I) provides an excellent overview and fully demonstrates the importance of active involvement and annotation. The heart of MODERN AMERICAN POETS is the poetry itself in Parts II and III. The range, diversity, and power of poetry in our time is presented here.
