If you want to know how to teach poetry--in a university, a high school, at a nature preserve, in a hospital, or in your living room--read this book.

June Jordan's Poetry for the People details how to build a grassroots poetry program through a collection of strategies, sample student work, course descriptions, and a step-by-step guide to organizing and promoting readings, alongside original writing from Adrienne Rich, Joy Harjo, Ntozake Shange, and Cornelius Eady.

Now with a guide to teaching ethically in the digital age, this easy-to-use, timely reference is perfect for teachers of poetry at any level and in any group setting.
