ModPo also has a large international base of students and colleagues who are studying a largely Americanist archive; Davy and Anna are generous in this episode about dipping into the ethics and histories around how we teach a poetry archive, how we negotiate meaning, and ways we can both critique power dynamics and create new, more livable futures.
