Announcement:
Good morning!
I realized that I made a confusing request in the Poetry Calendar. I asked you to bring in modern poetry (optional) for analysis. What I meant to say was current poetry. Modern Poetry would suggest poetry from that time period, which is not at all what I meant to convey, so I apologize for any confusion. We didn't have time on Friday for me to explain why I wanted to take a day to explore current poetry. We don't have time in our Poetry Unit to do this, and before your prospectus is due, and since you have the opportunity to select four poems outside an anthology of poetry (or our anthology of poetry), I thought it would be the right timing to explore poetry from the last decade or so. I am not requiring you to bring in poetry because I will be providing different poems for analysis, but if you choose to, you may bring in poems that pique your interest.
Suggestions for searching:
It's quite simple:
- Simply conduct a search of Poet Laureates from the last decade or so and read through some of their poetry. If one really inspires, moves, interests you, etc., then print it out and bring it in! (You can also save it to your laptop too)
