Dear Ms. Williams:
I am writing now to invite you to be a featured guest on my public television series, Poetry in America (poetryinamerica.org). If you agree, we’ll spend 45 minutes at a location of your choice discussing a contemporary poem by Sharon Olds that compares feats of athletic prowess to childbirth. I will use what we capture in an upcoming season of Poetry in America, and I’ll also use this content in a course for medical professionals I am creating in partnership with Harvard Medical School.
Poetry in America’s first season’s guests included Joe Biden, Cynthia Nixon, Shaquille O’Neal, Yo Yo Ma, Samantha Power, Herbie Hancock, John McCain, Bill Clinton, Nas, Angela Duckworth, Bono, Regina Spektor, Frank Gehry, Stuart Weitzman, E.O. Wilson as well as 12 of the most distinguished poets of our time. Seasons Two and Three will have a similar line up. The series air on most public television stations, streams on Amazon Prime and is now airing on a variety of domestic and international airlines. I thank you for considering this request. I would be very honored to work with you.
Sincerely,
Elisa New
