I explore how poetry captures the unique power of the human voice-- both on the page and in performance. This video is part 4 of my "The Art of Poetry" video series based on an introduction to poetry class I taught at USC.

Poems mentioned:
"Cassandra" by Louise Bogan
"Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes
"Those Winter Sundays" by Robert Hayden
"For My Daughter" by Weldon Kees
"Luke Havergal" by E.A. Robinson
"The Measures Taken" by Erich Fried
