The University of Michigan Humanities Text Initiative has taken on the task of posting American poetry from the 19th Century. Emphasis is placed on accuracy of the texts. The list of posted authors is currently small, but those that are listed comprise some of the key voices (William Cullen Bryant, Emily Dickinson, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Edna St. Vincent Millay,). Once fully developed, this Web site will be a prized reference for teachers and scholars of American literature.

	www.english.uiuc.edu/maps/index.htm Modern American Poetry : A Multimedia Companion to Anthology of Modern American Poetry As the editor of this site states, "This web site grew out of the experience of editing Anthology of Modern American Poetry for Oxford University Press. Both I and the members of my Advisory Board realized that readers would benefit from having information readily available that could not possibly fit in a book. This ranged from historical background to analyses of the poems themselves. The site is designed to help all readers of modern poetry, not just readers of the Oxford anthology."

Eliot so eloquently points out, the only way to learn about life (or about poetry) is by exploring, which this web site will help you to do. This site will help you track down the many allusions, translate the non-English passages, and view lines from early drafts of The Waste Land before it was edited into its final form. What this site will not do is force upon you a particular reading of the poem, nor will it spoon-feed you "the meaning." The job of finding meaning is a difficult one, and here, as always, it remains the fruit of the hard work of the explorer."

The plan is a complex one, braiding social studies and social expression with the music that kids relate to so well. It asks the students to look at the artist as seriously as they would consider a work in relation to Hemingway's personality or Shakespeare's Elizabethan milieu. It's a finely tuned lesson plan, but only one among the smart and rich ArtsEdge educational program from the Kennedy Center. ..."
