I guess the world is going faster than I can keep up with - so the difference in time spent linking directly or cutting and pasting a URL didn't actually occur to me.

I know it's a ton of work to re-poet the links in your main text, but for the record I find it makes a difference in how many I can get to. Clicking on the links in a list just goes so much better for me.

Poetry needs a good teacher, no doubt about it. But the critical analysis in class of something like The Great Gatsby or To Kill a Mockingbird doesn't make students turn away from all fiction, so why does analyzing Home make them turn away from all poetry? It's still a puzzle to me, and I can't help but think that contemporary poetry aimed at the YA audience is maybe TOO DULL....? It is trying to do what fiction does (tell a story) and that's not what poetry is best at. So why not let poetry come at them the Gnall delivers it - a completey new, weird way of using language? Good teachers yes (and they should love poetry) but poetry like Gnall is producing would make a good teacher's job that much easier. At least it would help students understand that poetry isn't prose.Julie https://www.blogger.com/profile/12811523890920763782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552083088916942937.post-50179620767887091762011-05-20T09:35:41.562-07:002011-05-20T09:35:41.562-07:00i still feel that one of the problems with present...i still feel that one of the problems with presenting poetry to a YA audience is getting past their gag reflex that poetry is <i>work</i>. not to suggest that poetry should be easy or fluf, but when freshman are slogging through homer nightly, answering worksheet questions for every five lines or so (as i'm watching my daughter do), the last thing they want is to read poetry for leisure. in the same way they eschew classics because those are books that are "taught" (as opposed to being read for narrative fun) i think the issue may be how we present poetry to YA readers.<br /><br />meanwhile, i wrote some sijo this week pondering the ignored inner lives of those who work at amusement parks. wow, that sounds darker than i meant it to. eh, maybe they are a <i>little</i> dark.<br /><br />http://fomagrams.wordpress.com/2011/05/20/poetryfriday-unamusement-park-sijo-trio/<br /><br />and thanks for hosting, julie.david elzeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16653215150526146224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552083088916942937.post-85466090183222692022011-05-20T09:28:51.056-07:002011-05-20T09:28:51.056-07:00Ooh!

I think the fairy tales themes, and angst, is partly what make Alice Hoffman’s novels such a good crossover to teens. I wasn’t even going to blog today, but your post inspired me.
