A few years ago I was teaching a poetry class and I had a very spirited group of students.
Typically today’s high school students find the study of poetry to be daunting and on a sophisticated par with studying the greatest poet of all, William Shakespeare.
But, thanks to the student leadership in the class, in short order, the class was showing remarkable aplomb in analyzing some of the most nuanced poems in the British and American canon.
