Discussing "Sweet Will: Poems" (published by Atheneum) with poet Philip Levine.
Reading from "Selected poems" (published by Atheneum) and "On the Edge" (Stone Wall Press) with the author, poet Philip Levine.
Studs has a spirited discussion with Jonathan Kozol who shares his adventures and learnings in Cuba that formed the basis of his book "Children of the Revolution: A Yankee Teacher in the Cuban Schools." Kozol explains the ambitious Cuban Literacy Campaign begun in the 1960s that aimed to educate the entire population, tells of children teaching adults in remote villages by lantern light, and the unity and national pride that resulted. He and Studs explore the idea of generative words in literacy education and contemplate Kozol's hope to adapt a similar approach to American education.
