Poetry for today

We are going to focus on the artists, poets, and musicians of the Harlem Renaissance next week. For today, check out the poets of that era in this link. Read at least three different poems and be ready to share and discuss which you liked best in small group.

Here's mine. I like the voice and honesty of the speaker. I also like the extended image of the staircase. It sounds like the speaker shares my values. Plus it's a cross-gender speaker, which is interesting.
