I am currently one of 30,000 people taking the paper, "Modern and Contemporary American Poetry" by Al Filreis of the University of Pennsylvania. This is classified as a Massively Open Online Course or MOOC and it can be accessed at http://coursera.org .
The course content is excellent and many poems are covered. Of special interest to me are the tutorial sessions that Al has with his TA's and that open up the poems in the course.
I have discovered a new (or new to me) poet: Frank O'Hara of the New York School.
If you love poetry you will enjoy this course and it's free as well.
Many thanks to Al and the ModPo team including the technical folk behind the scenes who help to make the top quality video productions and readings.
