Welcome, Penn!



How delighted I am to see that Penn Kemp will be following my humble "Word-Dreamer" blog. Poet laureate for the city of London, Ontario, in 2010, she is Canada's foremost sound-and performance-poet. I consider her a poetry institution and among the most respected literary figures in Canada. I've published an article in Ascent Aspirations on Penn's sound poetry. A few blog posts on Penn can be accessed through "Labels" sidebar.

Welcome, Penn!

to "fit" into this 'box':
I am wondering if her work will be included in this course?

https://www.coursera.org/course/modernpoetry

this course is "taught" by "the Professor of the Year, 1999-2000" and

"Participants do not need to have any prior knowledge (of poetry)" and " no need to participate Or attend"
check out the FAQ

a logical next stage in this
Computer Age and Education

: get credentials via creating your own on blogs and/or via courses/matriculating at "accredited" institutions like this one?

Interesting idea,this. Sort of like the "The Swedish Twitter University" idea I talked about here (see under 'Labels')

I don't think our Penn is associated with this online poetry course.
