Inner City Schools to Hear Poets

Arrangements are being completed for 100 poetry readings in the classrooms of 43 inner city parochial and public junior and senior high schools by 26 locally and nationally known poets. The Poetry Readings are being sponsored by DETROIT ADVENTURE and the Academy of American Poets in cooperation with the Detroit Public Schools.

Scheduled until May 26, the series is being initiated by Galway Kinnell who appeared at Eastern High School on Tuesday, April 11.

Each of the poets in the Poetry Readings in the Classroom series will read and discuss his own work.
