Rob Gray will use his new book of poetry “Jesus Walks the Southland” to explore how the influence of other
poets shape writing. For centuries, poets have used allusions in their poems to create and enhance meaning.
The course will focus primarily on the influence of Walt Whitman, Langston Hughes, William Blake, Nikki
Giovanni, William Wordsworth, Rainer Maria Rilke, and others have had on Gray's work, but will also look
at how other poets have been similarly influenced.
“Jesus Walks the Southland” can be ordered from Amazon.com or purchased at the first class meeting.
