In this continuing course on poets, we are using Kevin Young’s Library of America Anthology African American Poetry: 250 Years of Struggle & Song and reading it, for the most part, from its ending to its beginning. In this course, we probably will be reading Ishion Hutchinson, Harmony Holiday, Sean Hill, Eve L. Ewing, LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs, DeLana R. A. Dameron, and Tiana Clark.

Don Melander is a Professor of English and Humanities Emeritus at New England College, where for 50 years he taught literature, humanities, poetry workshops and team-taught courses in philosophy, history, and the creative process. He also adapted works for Open Door Theatre and served as its dramaturg. This course is his seventeenth for LINEC.
