In honor of a guest lecture at Mount Saint Mary’s University in Los Angeles in January 2016, poet Rita Banerjee created the presentation “Trochees: The Horse Beat,” which can be viewed on YouTube. This mini-lecture, which was presented as part of Rita Banerjee’s class “Poetry & What’s at Stake,” features a study of the trochaic form in English poetry with a close reading of William Blake’s “The Tyger.” The lecture is available to the public and for classroom use on YouTube here.
