New Festival Videos
We’ve got over 30 new short films from the 2014 Festival to share with you. We will be posting a new one every Friday, and adding them to the 64 from earlier Festivals already posted on our YouTube channel. You’ll be able to find them there, a link archive of all new posted videos here, and of course through our Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr.
These poems are here for you. Enjoy them. Revisit them. Unlike a live reading, you can pause and replay these poems as often as you like.
If you are a teacher and want to share these with your students, we have some suggestions on how to work with these videos in your classrooms here.
And poems are great for sharing - please share on social media using the hashtag #dodgepoetry
Stay Tuned. We’ve got a lot to show you.
