WATCH Andrew Schelling teach The Cantos by Ezra Pound!

CPL has teamed up with poet, translator and educator Andrew Schelling to host a workshop exploring The Cantos by Ezra Pound. This Zoom workshop, beginning in November of 2023, has been an immersive dive into the “Pound era,” the history surrounding The Cantos and Pound’s contemporaries, and a collaborative reading experience between Schelling and workshop participants.

FULL VIDEOS of the 2023 Cantos workshops are available NOW on the CPL website! If you missed this workshop, you can now watch through all of the classes and dive into The Cantos HERE.

Andrew Schelling will be returning this March to teach a second course on The Cantos! Registration for this course is available NOW and still has multiple spots available! Register for the 2024 Cantos workshop HERE. If you missed the first workshop, you can catch up via the videos in preparation for the second course! We are grateful for the opportunity to work with Schelling and look forward to exploring this important work of poetry even further. We hope to see you there!

Sam O’Hana on How to Support Working Class Poets

Sam O’Hana on How to Support Working Class Poets

When I said that what’s good for general society is also good for poets, I’m talking about a series of cultural opportunities where a much wider stretch of people are allowed to take the opportunity to become writers. I came back from a conference last week where I presented some research on the demographic aspects of the New American poets. The poets that were born and came to maturity in the early to mid-20th century were beneficiaries of broad national scale longevity gains. This [includes] things like pushbacks against tuberculosis, against polio, against poor nutrition and infant mortality. These are gains that were made by the medical and scientific institutions, but also by general prosperity, by making more food available to more people and making that food shelf stable for longer. So, when you talk about what might make it possible for poor people to do more creative work, you could start by saying well we should just give people more money, but the fact of the matter is that plenty of people already have the wealth they need, they just don’t actually have any time.
