Subject: Widening Reach and Audience Participation in Contemporary Poetry in America
Introduction
Poetry in the American society is a source of escapism for the performers and the audiences it targets. It is found in every fabric of the American society, from film, music, literature, human expression, socialization and art. However, the poetic tenets are prone to diminish if they are not delivered accordingly to the American people. It is with this ideology that the Academy of American poets seeks to source for sponsorship for an Arts from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Radio and Television Grant. Following institutional research back at the headquarters, it was identified that there exists a gap on the comprehension and delivery of contemporary poetry and its effects on the growth of a society. Other approaches of art are suppressing poetry, which was once a rich element of artistry. Resultantly, the Academy successfully launched a campaign to dedicate one month for poetry and poem-related art to the American audience. The campaign is currently in its fifth year of implementation, transforming perceptions of art, creating new poetic ventures such as spoken word and maintaining the poetic worth in the society.
