Join us for a stimulating conversation with former U.S. Poet Laureate Rita Dove and educator Melissa Alter Smith. Dove will discuss her own approach to writing, share and discuss specific poems, and allow ample time for Q&A.
Rita Dove won the Pulitzer Prize for her third book of poetry, Thomas and Beulah, and was U.S. Poet Laureate from 1993–95. She received the National Humanities Medal from President Clinton and the National Medal of Arts from President Obama—the only poet ever to receive both. She is the Henry Hoyns Professor of Creative Writing at the University of Virginia. Her eleventh collection of poetry, Playlist for the Apocalypse, is forthcoming from W. W. Norton in the summer of 2021.
Facilitator Melissa Alter Smith is the creator of #TeachLivingPoets. She is also a North Carolina English Teachers Association Executive Board member and a high school English teacher in Charlotte, North Carolina.
This session is co-hosted by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE).
