Reviewing Marie Ponsot's newest collection of poems in The New York Times Book Review To be fair, I should point out that this passage is merely the introduction to a piece in which the author goes on to praise Ponsot's work and to consider some of the downsides to completely discounting poetry. But even a poetry enthusiast like myself must admit that the reasons Orr gives for poetry's small readership seem not only familiar, but accurate. The fact that more poetry is being published now than ever before means more bad poetry is available to readers than in previous decades, and most of it probably conforms in some way to Orr's criticisms. The same can be said of any art form, however, because they all have successes and failures. Should we really swear off movies in general, for example, just because last summer's Goldmember was a disappointment?

HAROLD BLOOM: STEPHEN BURT: I don't know, Rhode Island? I find it much easier to address specific poets and poems. It might be more useful to think in general terms about the state of poetry tomorrow. More people read English than ever, and lots of them write poetry; many read it, too. In the near future more of them will be bilingual more people will read poems in English and Spanish, English and Tagalog, English and Chinese. I worry about the state of poetry's yesterdays. Too many readers several of my favorite young poets, even have an historical sense that goes all the way back to "Prufrock" and then stops. Then there's the state of poetry from other nation-states, the rest of the English-speaking world: I'd like to see more Americans reading (and publishing) John Tranter, Mark Ford, Medbh McGuckian, J.K. Baxter, Hugh MacDiarmid's "A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle."

Special thanks to Webcom, Scott Griffin, Alice Major and Blaine Marchand. Some Thoughts On Writing Children's Verse by Richard Stevenson First of all, let me make some distinctions. I've used the term verse rather than the more all-inclusive term poetry because most of the pieces I'm represented by here* are written in or derive from obsessive verse forms; that is to say, they are written in accentual-syllabic metre (i.e. the unit of measure is the foot or some combination of unstressed and stressed syllable(s) arranged in lines of so many syllables, so many beats per line), but they don't make use of a lot of figurative expression. Think confection rather than full meal deal: poetry makes use of language in a fundamentally different way than prose, is not just more rhythmic or "prettier"; it uses metaphor and symbolism to create a less linear, more multi-valent type of expression. Having said that, the bulk of these observations would apply to children's poetry too (and certainly syllabic forms like the one I used for "The Buru"), whether the poetry be written in free verse (no regular metre) or in regular metre.

28. Growing Young Poets Growing Young poets. for all kinds of help with teaching children’s poetry, even suggested example of a Teacher Resource File on a specific children’s poet http://www.sleepycreek.net/poetry/resources/teachers-growingyoungpoets.htm

Growing Young Poets Secondly, I want to get young people involved with poetry as I show them that poems paint specific pictures by using strong verbs and clear images. Thus, I try to select a poem that the students can act out with me and as we say the words and perform the actions, the poetry becomes a part of them. For instance, I frequently use the well- known "Fog" by Carl Sandburg: The fog comes We act out the poem together. Then we talk about the specific picture of fog Sandburg creates. I ask them why Sandburg uses "cat feet" rather than "dog feet". Depending upon the grade level of the class, I may introduce the term metaphor, and we talk about Sandburg’s using the cat’s movements as a metaphor for the fog’s movements. The children love this acting out, and they never tire of doing the same poems over and over. In fact, after performing "Fog" a few times, the students can say the words alone, and they don’t forget them. "Fog" becomes a part of their personal poetry repertoire. (If you wish more help with the acting out of poems, consult Allan Wolf’s books listed on the Bibliography.) adapt these to your own situations, adding or deleting as you choose. Remember to use your own expertise and your own personality as you seek to excite the children with your enthusiasm for poetry.

POET QUEST Developed by Carol Lane clane@winchester.k12.ma.us APRIL ORP (Outside Reading Project) English 6 Genre: Poetry March 2003 INTRODUCTION Poetry is meant to be read heard and enjoyed So Mrs. Lane has decided to have a Poetry Fest! She is looking for poets worthy of this special event. Your job is to research a “famous” poet and submit a portfolio of the poet’s life and works. The contents of your portfolio will determine which poets will be selected to participate in this “happening”. Mrs. Lane and your classmates will decide on the participants using the assessment tool listed in evaluation. THE TASK You will create one written portfolio detailing the life and works of a poet included on the Master Selection List. You will recite a memorized poem representative of your poet’s talent and style. You will “teach” the poem to the class. (An optional activity is to come dressed in costume as your poet.) You will write one original poem describing to your audience what this Poet Quest (ORP experience) was like for you.

30. The New Poets As a child, most of us were first exposed to made the astounding discovery that the more specific she made The new poetry of today s writers is much like the http://www.viewzone.com/poetry.html

Review by Gary Vey As a child, most of us were first exposed to poetry in the form of nursery rhymes or musical lyrics. The rhythm and rhyming of poetry seems to have become the standard form of poetry. But there is so much more. Diane Arbus was formally trained as a commercial photographer. Her photographs were meticulously planned with props and special lighting. Her subjects were exhaustively selected from modeling agencies to represent a specific type of businessman or typical client that her sponsor was trying to reach. At some point in her career, Arbus made the astounding discovery that the more specific she made her subjects, the more general or generic they would be perceived. The paradox seemed to work the opposite way as well. Photographs that were taken of ordinary people, in their actual rooms or homes, without consideration for lighting and props, were immediately seized upon by art critics who could interpret her work with amazing diversity of meaning and intent. The new poetry of today's writers is much like the visual work of Arbus in that it contains highly random and commonplace verbiage, a collection of words and phrases, that do not rhyme and do not have a typical rhythmic tempo but rather affect to reader in highly personal ways. Peter Ganick of West Hartford is one of the new poets who actually began his creative style back in the late 1970's when the famous Stone Soup Artists Collective was alive and flourishing in Boston's Beacon Hill area. His style has evolved since then to incorporate a collection of familiar phrases, each of which will elicit a unique visual vignette from the life experiences of the reader - and no two interpretations will be the same.

USING POETRY TO SUPPORT LANGUAGE AND LITERACY Caroline Ramsey Musselwhite Special Communications 916 West Castillo Drive Litchfield Park, AZ 85340 Phone: 623-935-4656 carmussel@mindspring.com INTRODUCTION: WHY POETRY? Poetry can be used to support children emotionally, to inspire them, to bring them joy . . . and to help them be successful speakers, readers, and writers. All of these purposes can be incredibly powerful for students who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), whether through light tech (e.g., eye gaze), communication devices, and/or computers. Poetry for Language: Poetry can be a scaffold for language learning, such as: Poetry for Literacy: Poetry can be a springboard for supporting literacy learning. For example: Poetry for Life: At the highest levels, poetry helps students express who they are, a possibility that is especially empowering for students who are nonspeaking. Poetry Features Many poems have inherent features that make them delightful for children, and excellent vehicles of emergent literacy and AAC learning. These features can also make poetry especially accessible for students with disabilities:

Teaching Children About Cowboy Poetry Resource Guide Table of Contents Verbal Folklore Activity Roping and Poetry Background Information Roping livestock is an important chore for a rancher. A cowboy/cowgirl ropes to catch his/her horse, throw livestock (for branding, rodeoing, doctoring), or pulling cattle and sheep from "bog holes," (to name a few uses). With all this activity, it is easy to see why roping is an important skill for a cowboy/cowgirl to possess. Cowboys and cowgirls don't go to school to learn this skill, they learn it from being around other ropers: on-the-job-training! This training not only teaches the cowboy/cowgirl to rope, but also introduces him or her into the customs of ranch life. This is probably why many ranch children, both boys and girls, begin young (at five or six) to ride and rope. Today's rodeo is an athletic event which honors the skills, such as roping, developed by ranchers. Because every cowboy and cowgirl learns ranching skills in a specific folk group there is some variation of methodology in ranch culture. For instance, calf ropers and buckaroos from the southwest use what is called the "hard and fast" style of roping. With this style the handler ties the rope onto his saddle horn, thereby representing the adage, "if it's worth roping it's worth keeping," because once the animal is caught and "tied on" it can not be easily released. Steer and team ropers, as well as most Utah cowboys and cowgirls, "dally rope" or half-hitch their ropes to their saddle horn so they can loosen or let slip the rope in case of an emergency. Although both groups are performing the same task: roping a cow, their means are different. Roping, therefore, is sometimes a source of contention between ranchers, because each believes his/her way is better!

Sample Unit Framework: Poetry Study Unit Focus and Direction While it is important to include poetry in every unit of study, at times it can be fun to focus solely on poetry. During this unit (2-3 weeks), students are immersed in poetry. They speak, listen to, write, and read poetry, individually and in groups. This sample unit framework can be used to develop a unit of study for grade 6, 7, 8, or 9. Poetry is meant to be read, heard, and enjoyed, rather than "studied". Throughout the unit, read poems aloud daily and encourage students to read aloud poems of their choice. Ask students to respond to the words they hear and read in poems, and to picture the images that the words create. Students may say "I don't get it" and say that they do not like poetry because they are fearful that they do not understand the "correct meaning". Encourage discussion about the poems and the students' responses, making it clear that all responses are valid, and that each reader/listener makes meaning according to his or her own experiences and prior knowledge about poetry and the topic of the poem. Learning Objectives The activities and resources suggested in this framework are appropriate for students in grades 6-9; however, it is important to select learning objectives from the curriculum guide that address students' particular grade level and needs. Be sure to select objectives for each of the language processes.

In the United Kingdom, it has over the centuries come to be the title of the official poet of the British monarch, appointed for life since the time of Charles II by letters patent, and before that less formally. Recently the office has been held only for a ten-year term. Its holder still receives a salary as a member of the royal household, but now has no specific poetic duties. Holders of similar positions in other countries have been honoured with similar titles. Poets laureate are appointed by many countries, some US states and the UN.

Do you rely on inspiration to get you started on a poem, or do you have other ways to get going, and if so, what are those starting techniques? Barbara Blossom Ashmun "The inner clock of plants testifies to a deeper, measured tempo that counteracts our manufactured rush." Garden Retreats: Creating an Outdoor Sanctuary Franz Wright replies: 2. Each time I read your poetry I feel deep emotions that don't dissipate with repeated readings. I wonder, is it the same for you? How do you, the poet of such powerful pieces such as "Primogeniture," "November 14," "Thanks Prayer at the Cove," and "Written With a Baseball-Bat Sized Pencil," confront your own poetry? Does the emotion stay as raw and fresh for you with each reading? Or is this a phenomenon unique to the reader, you might say 'nur mir allein?' Joan Gold PS: I am a reading teacher in a public elementary school. You might be interested to know that your poem, "Primogeniture," was read to the 5th grade language arts class by their writing teacher. It was very well received. Hopefully this experience will impact their lives and those of their own children. Thank you for this thoughtful questionand it is awfully touching to know that a particular poem of mine reached some children in the fifth grade. (Incidentally, my mother-in-law is a reading teacher, so I found this especially interesting.)
