Kulturraumstudien USA, Homework for January 3rd

In advance of our next session, please explore the Poetry Foundation's website and select three poems to read and discuss (make sure that the poems are connected to the US in some way, either by authorship or subject matter): Poetry Foundation

(You might find their "guides" webpage Poem Guides | Poetry Foundation useful for analysis or their "collections" page interesting in terms of how the poems are curated into categories Collections | Poetry Foundation) 

Please also read three letters (also connected in some way to the US) from the Letters of Note site (link featured below). Bring these letters with you to class to discuss (Scroll almost all the way to the bottom of the page to access the letters; you'll see that there are 57 pages of them. Alternatively, you can use the search feature on the website (see the upper right-hand corner of the page) to type in keywords that might return relevant letters): Letters of Note – Correspondence Deserving of a Wider Audience
