    Using Poetry to teach Business Studies By Chris Sivewright Published by: The Oxford School of Learning, 66 Sunderland Avenue, Oxford OX28DU Tel: 01865 512428 1 Contents Page Chapter One: 5 – 18 Chapter Two : 19 – 24 Chapter Three: 25 - 32 Chapter Four: 33 - 76 Chapter Five: 77 - 103 Appendices Appendix 1 : 104 - 108 Appendix II: 109 - 111 Appendix 3: 112 - 113 Appendix 4: 114 - 115 2 Introduction Can poetry be used to teach Business Studies? Are the skills transferable? The aim of this manual is to show how poetry can actually help students learn about business. Brief chapter descriptions follow: Chapter One This puts forward the idea that poetry and business actually complement each other rather than conflict. Readers are asked to create a poem from several business ideas. This is a theme throughout the manual – the emphasis is on readers to actually use the pages here to develop their own poetry skills. Please note: the poem ‘Advertising’ (page 10) is not copyright-free. The chapter concludes with three articles. One by Peter Sansom and the others from The Christian Science Monitor and BBC Online (adapted). Especial thanks are given to Peter Sansom for releasing copyright just for this manual. Please visit the Poetry Society website: http://www.poetrysociety.org.uk/places/pobiz.htm and the Poetry Business homepage: http://www.poetrybusiness.co.uk/ Chapter Two This chapter deals with the mechanics of writing poetry. A variety of terms are listed but it is left to the reader to establish the meaning of each term. A book reference is given. Several examples of poems written by pupils are included.

Th ey fl owered everywhere, and scattered in scented migrations. We couldn’t fi nd the noun we wanted – home – but made do with ‘glitter’ and ‘warm’ and ‘bare’. Th ese came away from the stars and the breeze and the walls. A beetle on your tanned leg was a Fabergé mountaineer, intense and hard and sapphire – the colour of extinction. It was harsh and rattled and spoke in dry clicks. It wept light on your skin like a metallic tear until I chopped my gaze in two and it vanished through the hole in vision. I fell on both sides of a blink as if halved with an axe and saw the darkness coming. It was smoke in my lungs, another toxic investment with Goldman Sachs. Smoke, lips. Our kiss seemed to core the sexy, laid-back afternoon. We relaxed: 4 storeys of glory, shades – we became quiet, because this was Summer’s story. I held a small chrome house in my hands, my Leica. She cut out her own face with scissors – try to imagine. Th is is a most unlikely story.

Cover artwork: Vincent Van Gogh, Starry Night Over The Rhone (1888) No part of this publication may be used or reproduced in any manner whatsoever without written permission except in the case of brief quotations embodied in articles and reviews giving due credit to the authors. 2 Borrowed Poetry Welcome to our Fall 2019 issue. Poems often are in dialogue with other artistic works. That makes us a collective. Things become interesting when there is a two-way street. As poets we read other poems, we consume movies, plays, music, various art forms. These things can be a springboard for our own thoughts and creativity. It’s something I do as well drawing inspiration from other experiential forms. Just for instance riffing off lines from another poem. We Are All Voyeurs “The world is ugly/And the people are sad.”—Wallace Stevens I read a couple of bleak poems that reeked of cheap perfume. Mostly amorous crap. Some guy who peeked through the wall saw a woman take off her clothes, then kissed her husband, then put her hand inside his pants. They engaged in coitus, I think. Me, I’m sitting by a bay window, looking at the spreading branches–morning had broken and the sunlight warmed my soles. I’m slowly coming out of my shell in the pine-scented air, portentous. I combed out my voluminous hair. The allure of woman, I think, lies in some mystery–butt cheeks shifting under maroon panties, for instance.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT Fit to Cone with Our Occasions: John Ashberv^s Place in Postwar American Poetry The object of this thesis is to develop terms by which Ashbery’s contribution to postwar poetry can properly be evaluated. I argue that the key term to such an evaluation is ‘occasion’. This term has three distinct critical functions. First, following the poet, I suggest that an Ashbery poem is occasioned by its circumstances (which is to say that events give rise to the poem, but do not determine its shape). Second, I show that Ashbery’s development can be charted in terms of his widening sense of what constitutes the occasion of the poem. Third, I compare Ashbery’s responses to occasions which have shaped postwar American poetry with the responses of important contemporaries.
