Talk on American Poetry
Thu 15 Apr, 3 – 5 pm
1st Floor, Rose Garden Tower
170 Ngoc Khanh St., Hanoi
In celebration of National Poetry Month, writer and editor Andrew Engelson will give a talk exploring the work of several American poets.
Poetry may not be as well-known an American cultural export as music or movies, but in fact the poetry of the US has a rich history. We’ll dive into some short poems by Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and contemporary poets by exploring themes, styles and use of language. Following the talk, the audience will get a chance to try their hand at writing a poem in English.
