As a 53 year old Atlanta native I can attest to you there's no one here under the age of 80 anymore who speaks like Dickey nor these students. What a shame, that loss of a smooth and lilting accent. Even in 1970, Dickey was speaking of Atlanta perpetually tearing itself down to build anew. It still hasn't abated and never will. Dickey's work will endure, though. And he was right about Milton, or at least I agreed. Maybe in the last 35 years our high schools have ceased requiring the study of Paradise Lost. Let's hope. Funny. Atlanta seemed like a paradise and it is lost in all ways except in our memories.
There are some tapes of Dickey's teaching but they are hidden in an archive somewhere. But there is this book which is a collection of transcripts from some of his classes: www.amazon.com/Classes-Modern-Poets-Art-Poetry/dp/1570035288/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=2BKLO3J829NZM
Also, here's a playlist of videos featuring Dickey. Several are from his time as poet laureate at the library of Congress. ua-cam.com/play/PLHVWDXwhfdxktNcg3C31VXnNjD2YgFT6P.html
The greatest teacher any student could ever have!
