BONUS Episode: ModPo's Davy and Anna on Teaching Online and Accessibility

Tune in for this podcast-only episode with host C. R. Grimmer and the instructors behind ModPo, Anna and Davy, as they discuss the importance behind open-access education around poetry. Accessibility takes on multiple valences in this conversation, from thinking about the disability or self-termed "crip" communities to accessible costs, to geographic location. ModPo also has a large international base of students and colleagues who are studying a largely Americanist archive; Davy and Anna are generous in this episode about dipping into the ethics and histories around how we teach a poetry archive, how we negotiate meaning, and ways we can both critique power dynamics and create new, more livable futures.
