Reviews

Al Filreis’s revolutionary pedagogy overturns complacent, monodirectional closures of official lecture and lyric culture. Learner-centered teaching and reader-centered poems open democratic vistas for intimate, individualized, aesthetically charged, resounding interactive education—on a mass scale. Filreis, yes! -- Charles Bernstein, author of <i>The Kinds of Poetry I Want: Essays and Comedies</i>
