Welcome to the Poets of Color of the Twentieth and Twenty-first Centuries A small sampling of poetry by poets of color are examined in this class as a way of expanding our perception of the American poetry cannon. Our discussions investigate the new forms, open languages, and cultural origins of the works, and also how these poets intersect with the literary terrain.
