Elisa (Lisa) New is a professor of  English at Harvard, with specialities in modern American literature and poetry. Earlier this month she launched an online course on American Modernist poetry, featuring works of Carl Sandburg, Edgar Lee Masters, Langston Hughes, William Carlos Williams, Wallace Stevens, and others. You will find the registration page here (it has already started, but you can catch up), and a trailer describing the course is below:

I mention the program mainly because I like and admire Lisa New, and because the similar course I took in college (with Reuben Brower, and then-teaching-assistant Neil Rudenstine) was so memorable. But also I mention it because my wife Deb and I play cameo roles in the online course, reading some poems from Spoon River Anthology.
