THE EARLHAM COLLEGE PODCAST - EPISODE 3 - POETRY AT EARLHAM

(Length - 17:39) Visiting Professor of English David Ebenbach and three of his students talk to us about this semester's collaborative research project. Known on campus as a "Ford/Knight" project, after the funding sources for this type of research, the students developed and implemented ways to engage the Earlham and Richmond, Indiana communities and learn how they relate to poetry. Their analysis of the outcomes of this semester-long project will be the basis of their report. In addition to speaking about the project, Ebenbach, a recipient of the Drue Heinz Literature Prize, reads us one of his poems. For more information on the English Department at Earlham click here.
