Hagood Reads Poetry
Instructor
Program Details
Course Description
Dr. Taylor Hagood will read a selection of famous poems in the English language. Dramatic readings of literature have been a staple of Hagood's lectures, and on this occasion he will introduce and read poems by Poe, Shakespeare, Dickinson, and others. Because poetry can be so intimidating, it is important to hear it read aloud in lively ways that bring out the full layering of emotion, metaphor, and meaning. This presentation will be entertaining - by turns funny, touching, moving, and enlightening.Course Info
