Paul, and All, Thanks for the poetry yesterday!
Since many are Friends/ Quakers in this email thread, I want to share with you this online free-to-students' Bachelor degree opportunity (emerging from CC-4 MIT OCW, and accrediting/licensing in CA with BPPE and WASC in all likelihood) - which is Friendly-informed too! Students could begin taking edX courses this autumn. And one student who's beginning on 1 September, from India, is an English major, and taking 2 edX courses, both with a poetry focus in part!
Here, too, is the Harvard Woodberry Poetry Room link I shared with you in text chat yesterday -
Congratulations to WPR Creative Fellow Tracie Morris for being appointed full-time faculty at Iowa Writers' Workshop: "the first tenured African American full professor of poetry in the history of the Workshop."— Woodberry Poetry Room (@WPRHarvard) August 29, 2020
Watch Morris's performance at Harvard: https://t.co/Mgvn2nzqBXpic.twitter.com/MdZAfzxyKg
- with, re your "Chirps and Pings' poem, great percussion in accompaniment. Congratulations on the upcoming launch of your "When an Atheist Says Bless You" poetry book, and perhaps we can have a lunch launch for this too! (Have you let the NtF - Nontheist Friends' email folks know about your upcoming book?)
Friendly regards, Scott
