About Poetry in America

Poetry in America, created and directed by distinguished professor Elisa New, is a multi-platform educational initiative and public television series that brings poetry into classrooms and living rooms around the world. The Poetry in America television series, airing nationwide in the U.S., is presented by Arizona PBS and distributed by PBS Plus and American Public Television. In partnership with the Educational Media Innovation Studio at Arizona State University’s Mary Lou Fulton College at and Harvard’s Division of Continuing Education, Poetry in America offers for-credit and professional development courses for undergraduates, graduate students, high school students, and educators. Poetry in America is filmed on location and edited in a rich documentary style. Educational videos draw from this robust archive, as we follow Marilyn Chin to San Francisco, Gwendolyn Brooks to the South Side of Chicago, Frank O’Hara to Central Park, or Tracy K. Smith to Texas Hill Country to explore America’s diverse people, culture, history, language, and literary imagination. Join us to reflect on the essential works of the American literary imagination. Along the way, dozens of guest interpreters join the conversation – scientists and senators, Presidents and playwrights, journalists and Supreme Court justices, athletes and artists, classroom teachers and their students. Poetry in America is a production of Verse Video Education, a not-for-profit organization that produces the highest quality educational media across disciplines.
