NDLI: Skyscraper

Content Provider	PBS LearningMedia
Copyright Year	2018
Description	Travel back to 1914 when Chicago's skyscrapers and Chicago's poets were defining modernist reach and audacity. In this video excerpted from Poetry in America, host Elisa New considers the rise of the skyscraper—and the emergence of the modernist poem—in an episode featuring celebrated architect Frank Gehry, Chinese visionary and real estate developer Zhang Xin, poet Robert Polito, and student poets from around the United States. And what about today? Can a building, as Sandburg asserts, have "soul," and who gives it that soul? This resource is part of the Poetry in America Collection. Find out more at the series' website.
