About Me
I believe that when we are teaching about language or the language arts it is important for the teacher to learn as much as possible from the student. Of course, the teacher comes armed with knowledge that is institutional at its core, a knowledge that is at once also necessary. Think of the notion of experience. In poetry for example that comes with reading and writing, either in an academic or recreational context.What I look for in the student learning English or poetry is a desire to acquire the intuitive capacities that the teacher brings with her, as well as the student's own individuality which the teacher also learns from.

In the modern world, the significance of poetry is overlooked. From Aristotle to Derrida (the range is not comprehensive), literary theory has maintained that a poem's power is measured in its affect. Throughout this course, our goal will not be to make inscrutable poetic analysis - though the first part of the lesson will be spent analysing word choice, meter, line length and spaces of an English poem written between pre-modernism and postmodernism. Rather, through our perusal of poetic form we will be able to ground our work, somewhat modestly, in the English poetic tradition.
Before the first class you will send me some of your own work so I know how to build or refine aesthetic temperament. I have been writing poetry for ten years and two years ago I published a chapbook at a press with competitive standards, and I am currently working on a full-length collection. If you wish to take up poetry seriously, time is needed and an eye for detail is essential.
I look forward to us broadening our aesthetic sensibilities together.
