Which poets were the heartbeat and the spirit of contemporary America in the decades of Dean Academy, Dean Junior College and Dean College? In conjunction with the 150th anniversary of Dean College, a course was developed this Spring to celebrate 150 years of American poetry, studying one poet in each decade from 1865-2015. From the traditional American poets including Longfellow, Dickinson and Whitman, through the journey of the modernists including Carl Sandburg, Langston Hughes and Robert Frost, to the souls of contemporary poets Alan Ginsberg, Robert Bly, Jane Kenyon and others, students were immersed in the voices of American poets and their lives. The lecture will feature a multi-media presentation on the poets and poetry in the course, and an historical backdrop on and off the Dean campus.
