Metamorphosis: from Light Verse to the Poetry of Witness by Maxine Kumin from the Georgia Review, Winter 2012
Metamorphosis: From Light Verse to the Poetry of Witness by Maxine Kumin from The Georgia Review, Winter 2012 How did I become a very old poet, and a polemicist at that? In the Writers Chronicle of December 2010 I described myself as largely self-educated. In an era before creative writing classes became a staple of the college curriculum, I was "piecemeal poetry literate"—in love with Gerard Manley Hopkins and A. E. Housman, an omnivorous reader across the centuries of John Donne and George Herbert, Randall Jarrell and T. S. Eliot. I wrote at least a hundred lugubrious romantic poems. One, I remember, began When lonely on an August night I lie Wide-eyed beneath the mysteries of space And watch unnumbered pricks of dew-starred sky Drop past the earth with quiet grace ... Deep down I longed to be one of the tribe but I had no sense of how to go about gaining entry. I had already achieved fame in the narrow confines of my family for little ditties celebrating birthdays and other occasions, but I did not find this satisfying. There were no MFAs in poetry that I knew of except for the famous Iowa Writers' Workshop, founded in 1936; certainly there was nothing accessible to a mother of two, pregnant with her third child in 1953 in Newton, Massachusetts. I have noted elsewhere that I chafed against the domesticity in which I found myself. I had a good marriage and our two little girls were joyous elements in it. But my discontent was palpable; I did not yet know that a quiet revolution in thinking was taking place. -
At the Intersection of Poetry and a Lower
At the Intersection of Poetry and a High School English Class: 9th Graders‟ Participation in Poetry Reading Writing Workshop and the Relation to Social and Academic Identities‟ Development DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Susan Koukis Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Anna Soter, Advisor George Newell Mollie Blackburn Terry Hermsen Copyright by Susan Koukis 2010 Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine whether “marginalized” (Moje, Young, Readence, & Moore 2000) 9th grade students in a low-level, tracked English class perceived themselves as more successful students in English class after participating in a 10-week Poetry Reading Writing Workshop. A second purpose was to determine whether their knowledge of poetry terms and concepts such as metaphor, and subsequent performance on the poetry sections of standardized tests improved. My nested case study focused on 19 students in a low-level 9th grade English class. As the practitioner researcher, I conducted in- depth research with six focus students chosen through purposeful sampling. I collected data over the course of three months, using the types of instruments most common to case study research. Data analysis for my nested case study was ongoing and recursive between field work and reflection. Data were coded for patterns that represented categories pertaining to my research questions and coding was refined as I gathered and re-read additional data sources. The findings revealed that students learn better, and are more engaged when they have choices (Atwell, 1998; Lauscher, 2007). -

Poetry: Why? Even Though a Poem May Be Short, Most of the Time You Can’T Read It Fast
2.1. Poetry: why? Even though a poem may be short, most of the time you can’t read it fast. It’s like molasses. Or ketchup. With poetry, there are so many things to take into consideration. There is the aspect of how it sounds, of what it means, and often of how it looks. In some circles, there is a certain aversion to poetry. Some consider it outdated, too difficult, or not worth the time. They ask: Why does it take so long to read something so short? Well, yes, it is if you are used to Twitter, or not used to poetry. Think about the connections poetry has to music. Couldn’t you consider some of your favorite lyrics poetry? 2Pac, for example, wrote a book of poetry called The Rose that Grew from Concrete. At many points in history across many cultures, poetry was considered the highest form of expression. Why do people write poetry? Because they want to and because they can… (taking the idea from Federico García Lorca en his poem “Lucía Martínez”: “porquequiero, y porquepuedo”) You ask yourself: Why do I need to read poetry? Because you are going to take the CLEP exam. Once you move beyond that, it will be easier. Some reasons why we write/read poetry: • To become aware • To see things in a different way • To put together a mental jigsaw puzzle • To move the senses • To provoke emotions • To find order 2.2. Poetry: how? If you are not familiar with poetry, you should definitely practice reading some before you take the exam. -

The Queer Dialectic of Whitman's Nation: 'Let' in “Respondez,”
václav paris The Queer Dialectic of Whitman’s Nation: “Let” in “Respondez” Let the Asiatic, the African, the European, the American, and the Australian, go armed against the murderous stealthiness of each other! Let them sleep armed! Let none believe in good will! Walt Whitman, “Poem of the Proposition of Nakedness,” 1856 riginally published as “poem of the proposi- Otions of Nakedness” in 1856, then without a title in 1860, the poem that we know as “Respondez” only appeared as such in the 1867 and 1871–72 Leaves of Grass. If, as Sam Abrams claims, “Respondez” is “a poem widely regarded as the most important in the entire Whitman corpus” then it occupies a strangely marginal position in that corpus (32).1 Easily overlooked because of its exclusion from the first and final editions, the poem is better known to a few critics of Whitman than it is to a general readership.2 It is probably best known to other poets— and is, ironically, more often printed in anthologies and selections than “complete” editions of Leaves of Grass.3 “Respondez” clearly stands out, although theories of why are not forthcoming. Louis Zukofsky famously wrote that it was “Whitman’s greatest poem,” quoting the work in its entirety but without further comment at the end of Prepositions+ (218–21).4 Likewise in 1947 Wil- liam Carlos Williams claimed it as exemplary of “a new formal necessity touching all verse” (qtd. in Abrams 32), going on to read twenty-five lines of the poem also without further comment. In not commenting, Zukofsky and Williams alert us to its slipperiness, for quoting “Respon- dez” is far easier than offering an interpretation or capturing it within a general framework. -
Thomas Merton's Projected Anthology of Religious Poetry
20 Thomas Merton's Projected Anthology of Religious Poetry By Patrick F. O'Connell During the summer of 194 l, having fini shed his fust year teaching English at St. Bonaventure College, Thomas Merton was busy about many things: he was working on his novel, Journal of My Escape from the Nazis, writing numerous poems, keeping two versions of his journal. reading Dante, Lorca and Graham Greene, teaching a summer school bibliography course, spending two weeks working at Catherine de Hueck's Friendship House in Harlem, worrying about the war, thinking about the Trappists. 1 In the midst of all this activity he also managed Lo find time for another project, one that reflected his own deepening interest, as writer and reader, in religious verse. On July 27, he records in his journal: I think of making an Anthology of Poems, Religious or nearly Religious. So far I have got Donne's "Hymn to Christ at the Author"s Last Going into Gennany," "At the Round Earth's Imagin'd Comers," ·'Nocturnal on Saint Lucy's Day," "'What If This Present were the World 's Last Night?," and Herbert's "Aaron" and Vaughan's "The Seed Growing Secretly" and Hopkins' "Felix Randal." Also Tthink Hopkins' "Leaden and Golden Echo" - "Bugler's First Communion,.. "Candle indoors."' "Wreck of the Deutschlancf' and despair poems. Then Blake's ·'How Sweet I Roamed," "Lillie Girl Lost.'' "Auguries of Innocence." '·Mental Traveler." ''Holy Thursday" (Innocence), a lot more Vaughan (e.g., "Night"). plenty Traherne - Southwell's " Burning Babe."' ln all maybe 150 poems - or half that- 75 would be a better number (RM 380-8 1). -

Grahn's early work weaves in minimal references to Venus and Jason, she soon progresses to focusing on the myth of Helen of Troy--and all her incantations--to create a book of poems to instruct and unite womankind in the hope that her poetical work will lay the foundation for a spiritual and psychological transformation. -
