Abstract :While I was working towards my M.A. in American literature at Hacettepe University, in 1989, David Landrey from Buffalo State College was a visiting Fulbright scholar in Ankara. Himself a poet and one of the most dedicated and inspiring teachers one can ever meet, David opened a course on "Postmodern American Poetry.” Among others, our reading list included Charles Olson, Robert Duncan, Denise Levertov, and Robert Creeley. The small group of students taking the course was mainly composed of the newly recruited TAs of the department, and although most of the class members had BAs in American Literature, they had only a vague familiarity with the names on the syllabus.Keywords :
