Podcast appearances and mentions of Kelly Writers House

George Fragopoulos, Chloe Tsolakoglou, and Christos Kalli join Al Filreis in the Wexler Studio at Kelly Writers House to discuss two sections from Book One and Two of George Economou's Ameriki.

In this episode of Conceptually Speaking, I sit down with Dr. Al Filreis, the Kelly Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, faculty director of the Kelly Writers House, and the creator of ModPo—a free massive open online course about experimental poetry that has drawn some 435,000 students from 179 countries. Our conversation, anchored in his recent book The Classroom and the Crowd: Poetry and the Promise of Digital Community, explores how ModPo became a genuinely thriving pedagogical community in a landscape of ghost-town MOOCs, and what that achievement reveals about the relationship between open texts, open platforms, and democratic forms of teaching and learning.Key Concepts from the Episode:Openness as PedagogyThe reciprocal relationship between open texts, open forums, and open-ended interpretationWhy poems that resist settled meaning are better vehicles for democratic learning than poems with knowable answersHow communal interpretation can be deepened rather than diluted by scale when the pedagogical architecture supports itThe Affordances of PoetryThe idea that a poem is not fully a poem until it is received, read, and responded to in communityHow the individualist architecture of higher education — grades, degrees, career pipelines — works against the communitarian impulse that makes reading meaningfulWhy poetry's perceived marginality makes it an ideal site for reimagining what education can beAgainst Technological DeterminismRejecting both EdTech's promise that platforms will save education and the moral panic that says we need to unplug entirelyThe access question that gets erased by anti-digital backlash: for whom is unplugging even an option?What it means to insist on a utopian digital pedagogy without being naive about the platforms that host itThe conversation makes a compelling case that progressive digital pedagogy is not a contradiction in terms. At a moment when both the EdTech industry and its loudest critics seem to foreclose the possibility of deep, humanistic learning online, Al's work with ModPo stands as a living counterexample. His conviction that poetry only matters when people read it together, and that digital platforms can be sites for that togetherness, left me feeling genuinely inspired about what teaching with and through technology can still look like.Check out more of Al's work here: The Classroom and the Crowd ModPo PennSound Kelly Writers HouseSupport the show

In a follow-up to our fourth episode, “Gimme My High School Experience,” we share about our process and the way we make decisions about what we include--and what we don't--when we're creating our podcast. We're boycotting companies that are supporting the US-backed genocide in Palestine by Israel. We share ways that you can join us in calling for a free Palestine and we close with a poem by the indomitable Black feminist poet, writer, and scholar-activist June Jordan.  Call U.S. Elected Officials ⁠U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights Fund Palestine Survival  Islamic Relief USA Doctors Without Borders To Learn More Going Home: A Walk Through Fifty Years of Occupation, by Raja Shehadeh Justice for Some: Law and the Question of Palestine, by Noura Erakat The Hundred Years' War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917-2017, by Rashid Khalidi Freedom is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement, by Angela Y.

The group gathers for a live session in the Kelly Writers House's Arts Cafe to discuss the eponymous piece from Aldon Nielson's book Tray (Make Now Press, 2017).

The group gathers at the Kelly Writers House to discuss four poems from Sawako Nakayasu's Some Girls Walk into the Country They Are From (Wave Books, 2020).

Today we are releasing episode #168 of PoemTalk, in which Amber Rose Johnson, Daniel Bergmann, and Yolanda Wisher meet up at the Kelly Writers House to talk with Al Filreis about Jayne Cortez's "She Got He Got". This poem/performance piece is comprised of a “She” half and an “He” half, she giving variations of hot, while he instantiates variations of cold.

Today we are releasing episode #167 of PoemTalk, in which Jack Giesking, Jonathan Dick, and erica kaufman meet up at the Kelly Writers House to talk with Al Filreis about Myung Mi Kim's "And Sing We" from Under Flag.

Today's episode dives into Cecilia Vicuña's 'Colliding and not colliding at the same time'. The performance begins as the audience, having been encouraged to ask questions about an art video that had just been screened, went momentarily silent. No questions were being asked, so Vicuña began improvisationally to fill the room with words and sounds, exploring a convergence or collision of topics: the then-recent election of Donald Trump, the “millionaires' coup” in Brazil, the “mystery of what is happening at this moment in the earth,” the collective thought of the people in the room, and the room itself. Edwin Torres, Huda Fakhreddine, and Jena Osman joined Al Filreis in the Arts Café at the Kelly Writers House to record this episode.

In which we listen to June Jordan (b. 9 July 1936) read several of her poems at a 2001 reading at Kelly Writers House. You can hear the entire reading here and many more authors here. Previous episodes of Poetry Fridays can be found here. — This show is only possible because of people like...
