What is your favorite poem? Why?
“Darkness” by Lord Byron – I like this poem because it shows that when the comforts of life are taken from humanity, we turn on each other and it’s impossible to bear the shame of it for most people.
What are the joys of teaching poetry?
“There is a lot of beauty in poetry. The looks on students’ faces when they make an emotional connection and how it affects them, lets me know that the literature teaches them and is one of the best ways to communicate with people.”.
