Book excerpt: "David Orr is no starry-eyed cheerleader for contemporary poetry; Orr’s a critic, and a good one. . . . Beautiful & Pointless is a clear-eyed, opinionated, and idiosyncratic guide to a vibrant but endangered art form, essential reading for anyone who loves poetry, and also for those of us who mostly just admire it from afar." —Tom Perrotta Award-winning New York Times Book Review poetry columnist David Orr delivers an engaging, amusing, and stimulating tour through the world of poetry. With echoes of Francine Prose’s Reading Like a Writer, Orr’s Beautiful & Pointless offers a smart and funny approach to appreciating an art form that many find difficult to embrace.

Download or read book Teaching Poetry Embracing Perspectives written by Sharon Discorfano and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-09-01 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book serves as a practical guide, for teachers of middle-school students as well as higher grade levels, that provides clear and fully-developed lesson plans and activities that use the teaching of poetry reading and writing as a vehicle for developing students’ own creativity and appreciation for diversity. The combination of theory and practice sets this book apart from other books, in addition to an original four-step method of making sense of poems. The book is divided into two parts: the first focuses on the critical reading of poems; the second focuses on the writing of poems, using different forms. Both work towards “the bigger picture” of developing students’ ability to engage in respectful discourse and to view multiple perspectives as enriching rather than competing.

This book was released on 2022-12-13 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: POETRY RX -Selected by the New York Times as one of the eight best books of the year in the wellness category NOW ENJOY A CONCISE AND HELPFUL TEACHER AND STUDENT AND READER GUIDE AS WELL – PERFECT FOR BOOK CLUBS/READING GROUPS! “A wonderful classroom teaching tool to broaden the experience of students through beautiful language and the sensibilities of the poet.” Poetry Rx presents 50 poems with short bio sketches to reveal the enigmatic minds that gave birth to these masterworks. "An especially enjoyable feature of the book is the recurring section connecting the poem and the poet.” – Peter Sacks, Harvard University This Poetry Rx Teacher and Student Guide presents in a question format these five areas in such a way as to stimulate discussion amongst groups of students who want to use this book to learn about poetry, psychology, or both. It is especially geared to the last two years of high school and the college years. In Poetry Rx, Dr. Norman E. Rosenthal collected an anthology of poems intended to be enjoyable, accessible and useful. As a Psychiatrist, Rosenthal observed the ways poems helped his patients through times of difficulty, giving voice to certain feelings while offering a way forward. Poems, he feels, are not merely an academic exercise; they are vibrant creations that can educate our emotions, expand our understanding of human experience and be a solace and source of healing. Each of the fifty poems is laid out in the same format. The poem is presented up front, then an essay analyzing the poem. Rosenthal then uses his experience as a longtime psychiatrist to extract specific take¬aways from each poem, which students will find germane to their own lives. Finally the author connects the poems with a brief biographical sketch of the poet in such a way that explains how the products of the creative mind spring forth from our own experience. Rosenthal addresses five major areas of life where poetry can play a valuable role.

Download or read book The Sounds of Poetry written by Robert Pinsky and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2014-08-19 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Poet Laureate's clear and entertaining account of how poetry works. "Poetry is a vocal, which is to say a bodily, art," Robert Pinsky declares in The Sounds of Poetry. "The medium of poetry is the human body: the column of air inside the chest, shaped into signifying sounds in the larynx and the mouth. In this sense, poetry is as physical or bodily an art as dancing." As Poet Laureate, Pinsky is one of America's best spokesmen for poetry. In this fascinating book, he explains how poets use the "technology" of poetry--its sounds--to create works of art that are "performed" in us when we read them aloud. He devotes brief, informative chapters to accent and duration, syntax and line, like and unlike sounds, blank and free verse. He cites examples from the work of fifty different poets--from Shakespeare, Donne, and Herbert to W. C. Williams, Frost, Elizabeth Bishop, C. K. Williams, Louise Glück, and Frank Bidart. This ideal introductory volume belongs in the library of every poet and student of poetry.
